Rachel Ward 
Numbers 

A scorching debut and pyschological thriller, perfect for fans of Black Mirror. Since her mother’s death, fifteen-year-old Jem has kept a secret. When her eyes meet someone else’s, a number pops into her head — the date on which they will die. Knowing that nothing lasts forever, Jem avoids relationships, but when she meets a boy called Spider, and they plan a day out together, her life takes a new twist and turn. Waiting for the London Eye, she sees everyone in the queue has the same number — something terrible is going to happen. Over 1, 000, 000 copies sold worldwide. First-time author Rachel Ward is certainly one to watch. But I d avoid eye-contact if I were you. PHILIP ARDAGH, THE GUARDIAN ‘Even the idea of this book gave me chills!
