Boy in the Tower: Polly Ho-Yen

When they first arrived, they came quietly and stealthily as if they tip-toed into the world when we were all looking the other way.

Ade loves living at the top of a tower block. From his window, he feels like he can see the whole world stretching out beneath him.

His mum doesn`t really like looking outside - but it`s going outside that she hates. She prefers to sleep all day inside their tower, where it`s safe.

Except it isn`t any more. Strange plants have started to take over and tower blocks are falling down around them.
Now Ade and his mum are trapped and there`s no way out . . .
