Review

Nox is a struggling arts graduate, Lizzy and Taylor are famous Canadian musicians and Rocky is your average guy who works at Target.


What happens when the four of them get locked in a shopping centre in Perth with no one else and they can’t get out?


A fascinating insight into the human heart and mind when faced with an eerie and strange situation.


This novel explores all the ways they keep themselves sane as they struggle to understand their very strange existence. All four characters are intriguing in their own right, as well as the interactions they have between each other.


The occasional swear word is used in context to the tension and circumstances they find themselves in.


A very entertaining read that will best suit your Year 9 and up students.
