The Set Up
“It’s also several planetary systems beyond Weird. Here’s how it started . . .
Picture this . . . Friday morning. A whole-school assembly in the big hall. Rows and rows of teenagers in lines of plastic chairs. I was sitting there, towards the back – dark hair, brown eyes – the guy all the girls wanted to get their hands on.

Anyway, there we all were, sunlight blistering in through high windows and the head teacher, Fergus Fox, droning on.
He’s not just the head teach...er. He’s also my stepdad. I’ve lived with him in his boarding school since my mum died of cancer when I was five. We don’t get on, for reasons which will soon become obvious.

If it’s about anyone, it’s about her . . . Ketty.
She was sitting two rows in front and four seats to the left of me. You’re probably surprised I can remember that little detail.MoreLess
