But Hex Patel isn't the only one who gets this offer: Maria, older sister of Sascha, gets it too. And the world begins to change...and Tommo, Hex's best friend in the first timeline, is Jayce's best friend in the next, with a strange sense of deja vu.
Fantasy turns toward sci-fi as a special agent appears, seeking the anomaly, and enlists Tommo's help.
Pinfold's black and white illustrations throughout set a haunting atmosphere.

Why is every change bad? What if what's rewritten is better than what was rubbed out? (177)
"For now is the best we can ever do. There's always another threat round the corner, but we face it, deal with it, and then we face the one after that...It's what it means to be human...dealing with the problem in front of you." (179)
