Book 1 - Num8ers, 2010: Imagine having to live with the ability to see when anyone you made eye contact with was going to die. This was the curse that kept 15-year-old Jem from making friends. Her mother died when Jem knew she would and since then, Jem has bounced around the foster care system never daring to get close to anyone. That changed when she met Spider and fell in love.
Book 2 – Num8ers: The Chaos, 2011: 15-year-old Adam has the ability to see death dates just like his mother. He sees that many people will die around him in London on New Year's Day. What disaster will strike on New Year's Day? Can Adam save the people around him? He knows he has to try to use his gift for the greater good.
Book 3 – 1nf1n1ty, 2012: In the aftermath of tragedy in London, Adam is moving between camping in the wilds and refugee camps. Adam has become quite well known from his efforts to save the people of London and, unfortunately, has attracted the attention of some people who wish to use his unique psychic ability for their own wicked purposes.

Chopsticks by Jessica Anthony
Several authors are now presenting their stories through pictures and random items instead of the traditional written word. This short mystery story is told mostly through pictures, newspaper articles and short computer messages. It's very unique. To find out more check out the Chopstick website.
For another book in this style check out our review of The Scrapbook of Frankie Pratt.
