Lifegame

Alison Allen-Gray
(OUP Oxford)
352pp, 978-0192728432, RRP £6.99, Paperback
14+ Secondary/Adult
Buy "Lifegame" on Amazon

Here’s an intriguing read, where Allen-Gray slowly reveals the past for Fella and Grebe, to reveal the horrors of the future; one where mis-information and cloning crime go hand in hand, part orchestrated by Fella’s corrupt and ambitious father, hitherto unknown to his ‘orphan’ son.

This is an intelligent futuristic novel, which raises important issues concerning the present, begging the questions are we ever told the truth and is important scientific advance necessarily being used for good and ethical purposes?

I found it fascinating and hard to put down. Promote it with thoughtful older readers.
