Adaq and Maya steal on the streets to survive - a brother and sister team of 'lifters'. But when Adaq wants to quite his life of crime, Maya persuades him to do one last job. The only problem is, it might be the last thing Adaq ever does.
A sharp, urban thriller from Joe Craig, author of the international best-selling Jimmy Coates series.
Joe Craig has come out of the same camp as many of the YA British authors that seem to have taken this market by storm. Anthony Horowitz (Alex Rider) Mark A. Cooper (Jason Steed) Robert Muchamore (CHERUB) and Joe Craig (Jimmy Coates). This looks to be another great series in the making.
"High on plot and action these books race along, providing just what is required to engage children at the top of Key Stage Two who have not yet developed the stamina for a longer novel." -- Education Bookseller 20110624
Award-winning author Joe Craig writes novels and movies. Thanks to his bestselling Jimmy Coates thrillers he is now considered "one of the best spy kids authors... outstanding at both writing and plotting" (The Times, London) alongside Anthony Horowitz, Charlie Higson and Robert Muchamore.
He lives in London with his wife (broadcaster & adventurer Mary-Ann Ochota), his dog (Harpo the labradonkey) and his dwarf crocodile (Professor Sven). www.joecraig.co.uk @joecraiguk
