Beschreibung:

Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. From award-winning author, Jan Mark, a compelling tale of how a family become unwittingly entangled in the turbulent lives of another. Clay delivers papers like the Wild West heroines she loves to watch on film with her Dad. Gran is more into B movie horror. It's a normal family of sorts - and then another 'normal' family moves into the street and things become decidedly weird. The Stranger Who Nearly destroyed My Life would be a good title for a film of what happened next.but would anyone dare to watch it? Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 0c9a6b84-92a8-4b17-ac7b-ca05abe54c85

Inhaltsangabe:

Clay is a normal teenager who likes watching films with her Dad and doing her paper round. But when a new neighbour befriends her Mum, she starts to feel uneasy. Since when did their lives revolve around his? And why is everything suddenly so complicated?Clay knows there is something odd about the new family, yet she can't help being drawn to them like everyone else...This book is by turns hilariously funny and very creepy. It talks about the power one individual can yield. And Clay meanwhile is growing up. It is stunningly original and never simplistic. It simply deserves to be read.
