DESCRIPTION:
(from Amazon's press release, November 2023) The novels follow Charlie Bone (McClane), a kid who has always been labeled a 'problem'. He's been expelled from every school in London. But he can't help it - his brain just doesn't work like other people's. He has been haunted by 'The Noise' ever since his dad mysteriously died. His last chance comes when he's sent to Bloor's Academy, a school for challenging teenagers. Here, the pioneering principal, Dr. Bloor (Fiennes), sees things differently - he is convinced that what others see as flaws are, in fact, undiagnosed gifts, a kind of superpower, even. Bone must negotiate friendships, crushes, hormones, family dramas and most perilously, a dangerous conspiracy at the heart of the establishment. |
