Gr 9 Up—One morning, several British teens wake up realizing that they are no longer in their bodies. In fact, they are committing egregious acts of crime without their consent. Theft, property damage, murder, and attempted suicide are just some of the things many are forced to do against their will. This sparks the attention of a group of teens at Coal Hill Academy, a special school where the students are tasked with assisting a certain eternal timeless Doctor in rescuing the world from alien attacks. This original novel is inspired by the latest BBC series created by YA author Ness, Class, a spin-off from the hit show Doctor Who. Fans of the show will enjoy seeing some of their favorite characters spring into action and finding out background information not revealed in the program. Readers not familiar with Class should have no problem jumping on board this story, as Adams painstakingly explains many of the backstories and intentions of the characters (which, unfortunately, makes the pacing lag in several spots). VERDICT Fans of both shows will want to pick this up, but otherwise, there might not be many new converts.—Christopher Lassen, BookOps: The New York Public Library and Brooklyn Public Library
One of three thrilling companion novels, set in the universe of the new Doctor Who spin-off show, Class, created by #1 New York Times bestselling novelist Patrick Ness, author of The Rest of Us Just Live Here and the Carnegie Medal-winning A Monster Calls.
Young people across the city are acting crazy. But they aren't the ones in control...
Poppy is a quiet girl, right up until she steals a car and drives it through a shop window.
Max is a nice guy, but then he kills his whole family. Just for fun.
Amar always seems so happy, so why is he trying to jump to his death from the school roof?
No one can figure out why teenagers are behaving so strangely-and dangerously. Stories of impossible car accidents, random attacks, even cold blooded murder make Miss Quill's class sit up and take notice. Kids are going berserk, and some of them are even dying.
Then Ram wakes up in a body he doesn't recognize, and if he doesn't figure out why, he may well be next.
