Combining the warmth and heart of Ross Welfords The 1,000 Year Old Boy with the epic adventure and inseparable friendship of Frank Cottrell Boyces Cosmic comes an otherworldly new middle grade adventure from the award-winning Benjamin Dean.
Demons havent fallen from the sky in years. In fact, many think theyre extinct. But twelve-year-old Zed knows otherwise. Zeds dad, the head of a sect of Hunters, has always been prepared for the Demons return, and hes been training a reluctant Zed for years on eliminating them once and for all.
And then one night, Spark falls from the sky and disrupts everything Zed thought he knew. Because this Demon is nothing like the myths hes a frightened boy, no older than Zed, who wants to go home.
Can Zed stand up for whats right, even if it means going against his own family
