An unforgettable standalone novel from Nicky Singer, author of the sensational, award-winning FEATHER BOY.

Twelve-year-old Jess is grieving for her beloved Aunt Edie, and anxiously awaiting the birth of her twin brothers, when she finds a mysterious glass flask hidden in a desk. The flask is beautiful to Jess, and soon she starts to believe that it contains a magical life-force. When her half-brothers are born critically ill, Jess becomes convinced that their survival depends on what’s happening to the flask… Through Jess’s stunning narration, Nicky Singer explores the meaning of life, and the interconnected nature of all things – in a way which is entirely accessible to young readers.

You should read this book as it is about a girl who has 2 brothers that are conjoined from the waist down and are critically ill. She finds a flask in her aunts desk. She thinks it holds her brother lifeline in it. Read it and review it I hope you like it... Duchess Pinky Turkey XxX

I enjoyed this book so much! It started in a weird way. Two things that captured my attention was the mysterious title and it had a interesting blurb.

I've read this a second time - it's really sad in places but you really want to keep reading.

I really like the characters, especially Zoë because she's funny and likes to dance. It's sad but has funny bits and turns out to be a happy ending. The flask she found was from her real dad. It's her bond to him and she thinks it will help save her sick twin brothers. It is a very good book.

The Flask comes about when Jess' little twin brothers are born! She believes some things are connected, like her Great Aunt Edna and her Gran, her brothers and the Flask... Could it be true? Do these connections really exist???
