I really hope this book was written with a pre-pubescent male audience in mind! ( )

This is an exciting time slip thriller, set in Sydney. Partly it is in our Sydney and partly in a quite different Sydney which is a scary place and one which is strange and nightmarish yet proves to be dangerously real. Andrew thought he had a few problems, but nothing he couldn’t handle. Never quite sure that supporting his bullying mate Josh is the right thing to do, but too weak to do anything else, he suddenly finds himself lost in a world out of his control and faced with a seemingly twin Josh. But this version is even more worrying. Can Andrew take control and survive as well? Find out in this gripping read. ( )

After he is held up at the 7-11 where he works on the weekend, Andrew’s safe world starts to crumble. He begins to have dizzy fits and starts seeing people who aren’t there. He can’t tell his best mate Josh about it but confides in Melanie, the girl he wishes was his girlfriend. Then suddenly Andrew is thrown into a terrible parallel Sydney where pollution and crime are rife, homeless gangs of youths live in the abandoned subway system and drugs that create life altering experiences are the norm. Andrew finds a parallel Josh in his world as the leader of one gang and realizes that the things that happen in this world can effect what happens in his own, when a boy who is bashed to death in the alternate Sydney is killed by a car in ours. He must make an agonizing decision to stop a massacre happening in both worlds. This is a fast paced, thought provoking novel
