An action-packed eco-thriller for 11+ readers from award-winning
children's author, Victoria Williamson. On a remote Scottish
island, fourteen-year-old Max's life changes forever when he loses
his hearing in a boating accident. Struggling to make sense of his
new life and finding it hard to adapt in school, he begins to
notice other - even stranger - changes taking place when a new wind
farm appears off the island's coast. With the help of three school
friends with additional support needs, Max discovers that a
sinister scientist, Doctor Ashwood, is using wind turbines to
experiment on the islanders. They must find a way to shut down the
government's secret test before it spins out of control...
