Our class text is 'Boy in the Tower' by Polly Ho. This story is all about a boy called Ade who lives in a tower block in South London. Strange happenings cause buildings in the local area to mysteriously collapse. Who or what is responsible for the destruction? More buildings fall: Ade's school is closed down, his neighbours flee the area and his best friend Gaia moves to Brighton but Ade cannot leave. What will happen to him?
