    About this audiobook

    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.

      This is a strange book with an ending that does not quite fit. Graham Sinclair was born with the wrong hands, which is to say not normal hands that mark him out and different, a freak, and as he eventually learns give him extra powers. Neither the hands, nor the exact nature of the power is ever clearly spelled out. Throughout the bulk of the story his hands make his life a misery, and then rather abruptly in the end, he comes into his own and we are lead to believe his hands will save him. A rather typical coming of age kind of realization that what makes you weird makes you special but it is oddly mystical in a gritty realistic setting.Graham never really feels like a teenager.
