Then a tragic accident rocks Lexie's cyber-driven world and forces her to navigate the real world after all. With the aid of an unexpected ally—her first actual friend—not only is Lexie drawn into a mystery surrounding the accident, but she discovers more magic in the Web than she ever dreamed possible. Along the way Lexie's beliefs are challenged, her family is turned upside down, and her future is threatened. In this visionary tour de force by a promising new novelist, Lexie must decide what is real and what is virtual: Her life depends on it.

After an inspirational in-house visit from renowned performance poet, Brian Moses, Claremont Fan Court Preparatory School’s Poetry Week 2013 achieved many ambitious aims. It showed that poetry is relevant to everyone everywhere, it built and harnessed creativity and it powered imaginations for the longer-term, igniting a fuel within. Each pupil wrote an average of five poems during Poetry Week creating their own personal poetry portfolio. This anthology includes one submission from each pupil and many original illustrations.Any profits made will go towards the development of Claremont Fan Court Preparatory School’s English programme and associated resources.
