2014 Book Award Shortlist

‘Geek Inc.’ by Mark Griffiths

About the book:

Somewhere in the small, dull town of Blue Hills, the impossible is happening. Inanimate objects are coming to life. Time travellers from the future are mingling unnoticed with the shoppers in the high street. School children are developing uncanny powers. Strange creatures are lurking within the grounds of a forgotten stately home.

About the Author:

Mark Griffiths writes comedy and drama for radio, TV and stage. His first ever commission was for Radio 4’s Week Ending programme at the age of seventeen, closely followed by a stint writing material for Smith & Jones for BBC 1 aged eighteen. His interests include dinosaurs, tea-drinking and staring up at the sky through the branches of a tree.

    … I LOVE IT. It is the story of a “average” school kids life. Well, not average for long… What happens when a top-secret governement blue goo gets loose? Find out in this book! 8*’s out of 10.

    This is a book for children who enjoy doing science because there is a lot of investigating. This book gets very exiting in the end. I would give this book 3 stars.
