Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The game-changing young adult thriller that defies space and time, soon to be a major Netflix movie starring Oscar-nominated Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out, Black Panther).
2020: Close to getting expelled and caught up in a deadly feud, the tensions surrounding Esso seem to be leading to a single moment in a Peckham alleyway that could shatter his future.
2035: Stripped of everything, football prodigy Rhia has just one thing left on her mind - figuring out how to avert a bullet that was fired 15 years in the past.
Everything changes when Esso gains access to a mysterious world where he can see glimpses of the past and future, and when Rhia starts understanding the physics of it. The two must work together to master the secrets of the Upper World and seize control of their own destinies before it's too late.

Stays with you
I absolutely loved this book from start to finish and was sooooo sad when it ended. A brilliantly engaging story - the two narrators were just superb and gave this story the voices that it deserves. I wasn’t expecting the musical moments and found them incredibly moving. Thank you, Femi, for such brilliance. This is going to stay with me for a very long time.

Innovative and new age
A book that people like me can really relate to. I grew up in Hackney, I understood a lot of the lingo and new ppl like the antagonists. I love Astro physics and was intrigued in how it intertwined in the story. Though I felt there were plot holes, I was gripped and fell in love with the characters. At the very least it was a captivating story with a warm message and at best, it was a brilliant sci-fi adventure. Worth a read for sure!

An excellent story well told
The story is true to life. The narration brought the characters alive and I learned something about Einstein’s theory. Highly recommended.

Excellent listening, just the story I’ve been waiting for
I finished this in one weekend! Could not stop listening, the performances were on point and the story ingenious! Can’t wait for the Netflix adaptation 😬 PS I hope I still get entered in for the giveaway - although I didn’t get the paperback book I still bought it as an audible book within the time frame given 😉

Thoroughly enjoyable
Really enjoyable story, giving a voice and narrative to people who are not often represented in literature. Also examines the concept of free will and challenges faced when so much is stacked against you. Lovely work from both narrators too.
