I received a copy of Itch as well. How exciting it was to have won something, especially from the beloved mumsnet, and even better a brilliant book!
I loved this book. An exciting read, it's a real page turner. It centres around a boy who is a bit of a loner and a science geek, called itch. Itch becomes embroiled in an ingenious thrill-a-minute plot that is full of action.. Intrigue, villans, chases, explosions and a death...
The science element of this book seems to be well researched and is written beautifully into the plot. You don't need to understand the first thing about chemistry to follow this, but it might leave you wishing you did! Who knew Simon Mayo had it in him?! I can't wait for the sequel!
