Genre(s): Young Adult, Romance, Science Fiction/Future, Thriller, Time Slip

Era(s): Fiction, 1980s

Sarah Holding’s coming-of-age novel takes inspiration
from radical inventions by Nikola Tesla, the high
weirdness of ‘Stranger Things’ and the teenage angst of
‘The Breakfast Club’.

A freak electro-magnetic pulse leaves 17-year-old Bo and six other teenagers trapped inside a building in the British seaside resort of Blackpool, desperately trying to work out what just happened, why they can’t get out, and how to survive the weirdest weekend of their lives.

Dealing with each other’s egos and issues is nothing compared to the fallout unleashed by the solar event, because hidden beneath the building they discover it has activated a powerful energy device called blackloop.

As blackloop starts affecting everyone and everything in its vicinity, can Bo, who’s still grieving the loss of her mum, summon the courage to confront her fears, realise she’s falling in love, and make a move on Karim before it’s too late?
