In the ultimate battle between good and evil, who will come out on top?

BRAINCHILD is the incredible new children’s thriller from Ivor Baddiel and Jonny Zucker. It’s a fast-moving, tense and exciting rollercoaster of a story about two brilliant 14-year-olds, Carl and Isobel, who are the custodians of a huge secret; in a laboratory hidden beneath their house, a human brain is growing. The brain’s two hemispheres are developing well, but then Carl and Isobel make an astonishing discovery; one hemisphere is pure evil, the other is entirely good. In time, it’s thought, they will merge and good and evil will exist together in the fully grown brain; for now though, the separation is marked and clear.

All is going well until one fateful day when Isobel makes another discovery, one that could have devastating consequences – the evil half of the brain has been stolen and is running amok in the body of a teenager. Faced with this deadly situation, there is only thing that Carl and Isobel can do…

BRAINCHILD is a unique and thought-provoking book for 10–15-year-olds.
