When they first arrived, they came quietly and stealthily as if they tip-toed into the world when we were all looking the other way.

Ade loves living at the top of a tower block. From his window, he feels like he can see the whole world stretching out beneath him. His mum doesn’t really like looking outside – but it’s going outside that she hates. She prefers to sleep all day inside their tower, where it’s safe. Except it isn’t any more. Strange plants have started to take over and tower blocks are falling down around them.

Now Ade and his mum are trapped and there’s no way out . . .

I thought it was going to be a happy story but it turned out to be a bit of a sad story. My favourite characters were the boy's neighbours because they were very thoughtful. It interested me because i like books that are a little bit grown up. I would recommend it to everyone who likes happy endings!

Boy in the tower is a very gripping, sad and interesting book I was glued to the book in no time because of its great descriptions and characters. At some points, it felt like I was in the book!

I thought it was a great book to read. I enjoyed it because it was full of description and very interesting. I would recommend it for 9-14 year olds.
