I have to say I had not read the John Wyndham novel this book takes its inspiration from, nor the film Village of the Damned - and I am far from being a “young” adult, but don’t let any of this put you off - go out and buy this book anyway because it is a terrific read. The narration moves between the main characters and I found this really worked well - the tension rises gradually as we find out how each of the girls deals with the mystery of being pregnant. I am not particularly fond of science fiction or the supernatural but there is a reality and grit about this novel that makes you suspend disbelief. I felt involved with them. Towards the end I carried the book around the house with me in order to finish it. But what was really quite a shock was that I realised I had some of the same prejudices about these “alien unruly “ children as the other “ordinary” people in the block. I don’t want to reveal the end but it did bring a lump to my throat when I read how courageous these girls really were - and what it means to give people a chance and a choice. Brilliant book!
