A Trick of the Light
Out of nowhere, 15-year-old Mike Welles has a voice in his head. Chilling and seductive, it convinces him, “You can be strong. You can be fit.” Mike starts eating less and exercising more as the voice assures him it’s his only friend. Mike doesn’t even tell his own story—the voice in his head is the narrator of this unique book. Can Mike recover control of his mind—and his body—before it’s too late?
