Fourteen-year-old Graham Sinclair was born with huge, strange hands. He was also born with a secret. The only time he ever told someone his secret, it got him into big trouble. So he won't be telling anyone ever again--or so he thinks. In this suspenseful and magical debut novel, Graham finds his life suddenly, thrillingly complicated--and his secret harder and harder to conceal.

From the Hardcover edition.

"Part thriller, part fable, The Wrong Hands has elements of magic realism reminiscent of Skellig and a teenage narrator with the kind of ingénue voice that marked The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. . . . An intriguing read."

 

"Hugely entertaining."

 

"Sharp and knowing and funny."
