Jimmy Coates: Killer

by Joe Craig  

An 11 year old boy discovers he has strange powers, and a future that holds mystery, adventure - and death.

Why Terry loves reading…

Books are just like movies, except you are producing all the pictures inside your own head. And they put you inside someone else's head too, so you experience someone else's experience.
