Brainchild

2 brilliant 14-year-olds, Carl and Isobel, are the custodians of a secret; in a laboratory hidden beneath their house, a human brain is growing in which one hemisphere is pure evil, the other is entirely good. However, the evil half of the brain is gone and is running amok in a teenager's body. There is only thing that Carl and Isobel can do.

In the ultimate battle between good and evil, who will come out on top?

BRAINCHILD is the incredible new children’s thriller from Ivor Baddiel and Jonny Zucker.

Authors Ivor and Jonny wrote 5 books together and were working on a sixth, Brainchild, when sadly Jonny passed away. Undeterred, Ivor set about finishing the book which he has now done.

It’s a fast-moving, tense and exciting rollercoaster of a story about two brilliant 14-year-olds, Carl and Isobel, who are the custodians of a huge secret; in a laboratory hidden beneath their house, a human brain is growing.

The brain’s two hemispheres are developing well, but then Carl and Isobel make an astonishing discovery; one hemisphere is pure evil, the other is entirely good.

In time, it’s thought, they will merge and good and evil will exist together in the fully grown brain; for now though, the separation is marked and clear.

All is going well until one fateful day when Isobel makes another discovery, one that could have devastating consequences – the evil half of the brain has been stolen and is running amok in the body of a teenager.

Faced with this deadly situation, there is only thing that Carl and Isobel can do…

BRAINCHILD is a unique and thought-provoking book for 10 - 15-year-olds
