The amazing mind of Alice Makin - Alan Shea

Twelve-year old Alice is growing up in a grey world of old bombsites,
in post war London. It's a tough life made harder by her difficult
step-dad. Alice's escape is her imagination, which always
brightens her day. But when a new boy called Reggie starts school,
her mind begins playing tricks on her. She seems oddly drawn to
him and whenever they are together the world becomes a more exciting
and colourful place. A place where imagination appears to become
real: where a bubble-gum machine can suddenly explode into a
thousand coloured balls, a handful of fireworks become the greatest
show ever, and a row on the lake becomes a terrifying adventure.
It seems that together, they can do extraordinary things, but
what is their story, and how will it end?
