The Wrong Hands Book

Fourteen-year-old Graham Sinclair was born with huge, strange hands. He was also born with a secret. The only time he ever told someone his secret, it got him into big trouble. So he won t be telling anyone ever again or so he thinks. In this suspenseful and magical debut novel, Graham finds his life suddenly, thrillingly complicated and his secret harder and harder to conceal.

Richardson tells all this with style -- The Wrong Hands is far better written than most novels for adults. His plot has many nice twists, and his prose sparkles, particularly in the scenes where Graham soars above London: "The chopper was still there, somewhere in the background, but I had got away, and now I laughed, laughing to the moon, which popped up on my left like a big white half-eaten peach with no visible means of support."
