Orangeboy with an Inception-style twist.' - Kat Ellis IF YOU HAD THE CHANCE TO CHANGE YOUR FUTURE, WOULD YOU TAKE IT?Prepare to stop time with this extraordinary debut about two teenagers bound by fate and time, with the scope of a Christopher Nolan epic. Esso is running out of time and into trouble. When he discovers he has the ability to see glimpses of the future, he becomes haunted by a vision of a bullet fired in an alleyway with devastating consequences. A generation later, fifteen-year-old Rhia is desperately searching for answers - and a catastrophic moment from the past holds the key to understanding the parents she never got to meet. Whether on the roads of South London or in the mysterious Upper World, Esso and Rhia's fates must collide. And when they do, a race against the clock will become a race against time itself . . .SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOVIE STARRING ACADEMY AWARD WINNER DANIEL KALUUYA'Ambitious and highly addictive' - The Bookseller'This is a book I will return to time and time again' - Caleb Femi'So happy this exists' - Daniel Kaluuya, Academy Award-winning actorReviewA superbly original debut, written with extraordinary ambition and panache . . . effortlessly blends theoretical physics with all-too-human tragedy. ?GuardianTo have a book that marries real London life, time travel and relativity in an illuminating and entertaining way is stuff I used to dream about.I had The Upper World in my hands until I finished it. So happy this exists. ?Academy Award winner Daniel KaluuyaThis compelling thriller is set on the streets of South East London, a place author Femi Fadugba knows very well . . . once Esso and Rhia's stories start to unfold, this book is impossible to put down. One to read before it's adapted into a Netflix film starring Daniel Kaluuya. ?The Independent, Children's Book of the WeekA sci-fi drama that captures the value of self-belief . . . The voices of Esso and Rhia, both smart and curious, are rich in slang and details of the lives and friendships of black teenagers, and their tale unfolds suspensefully, with emotion and writerly skill ?The Sunday Times, Children's Book of the WeekFor days after reading [The Upper World], I was left with what I can only describe as an electricity surging through my spirit. Fadugba is animpeccable weaver of universes and this is a book I will return to time and time again. ?Caleb Femi[An] ambitious and highly addictive sci-fi thriller . . . The theory of relativity and time-travel science may drive the incredibly tense and compelling plot, but it is Fadugba's skill in weaving this around complex characters and a very powerful human story that makesThe Upper World so special. ?Fiona Noble, The BooksellerWow!The Upper World is atime-twisting, mind-bending thrill ride. I raced through the pages trying to keep up with Esso and Rhia - if I could read at the speed of light, I would have! This south London epic will stay with you long after the final page. ?Holly JacksonA thrilling, electric book -sosharp and quick, so witty and wise it leaves you gasping. ?Katherine RundellA rollercoaster of a story, like Patrice Lawrence'sOrangeboy with anInception-style twist.

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
