Thirteen boys, all born at the stroke of midnight on millennium night, as the world moved from the 20th to the 21st century. Now, 13 years later, danger stalks the streets of London. Hunted down by a cult who believe they must be eliminated by their 14th birthday, only one boy remains, unaware that he is the last on the list. Fate has taken him away from the grasp of his pursuers many times, but now the net is closing in.
A thrilling adventure mystery which will appeal to readers of the Cherub series, written by an author who is as much of a mystery as his villains.
‘It is impossible to put the book down!’:
This book was fantastic. It had a lot of action in it, it flowed really well and had a lot of great descriptions. Thirteen is a book about an organisation that is attempting to murder boys who were exactly on the millenium which means it can be quite gory in places. Overall it was great and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
Thank you for a good review Heather. I am glad that you enjoyed Thirteen. The next book from Tom Hoyle is called Spiders and has an equally distinctive cover. Check if it is in stock in your School Library or you can buy a copy at the Award day in June.
Thirteen was a good book because it was scary and exciting. It was also gripping because I couldn’t put the book down.
Thirteen was a good book because it was scary and exciting. It was also gripping because I couldn’t put the book down. The book was about a group of friends, one of which was a killer. The story continues…
this book is really interesting and mysterious. I like how the author tells the story from lots of different points of view. the story is about a mother who gives birth to her son in the millennium. a cult called the people kill twelve of the 13 children born on the millennium. the boy called Adam tries to protect himself, his family and his friends. this book is amazing and I really enjoyed it.
This book had me at the end of my seat and chewing my nails because the suspense almost killed me! Its adventurous and exciting and a brilliant read!
