Jazmin lives in a tower block in a small flat with a mould problem. Becky Burns lives in a Victorian detached house with a housekeeper and Socialist parents. No reason they shoud meet, except for that pesky Socialism thing meaning that Becky's parents believe in comprehensive education. Quiet and self-contained Becky Burns has no tribe but, through her writing talents does have popularity, or should that be notoriety, when she has a multi-million bestseller, The MartianWiter, before sitting her GCSEs.

Skye and Lazarus are from Woodbridge. 21 years ago they went to London and met up with Icarus and St Paul's Cathedral and then they just disappeared. A leap of faith and *poof* gone.

At first glance this appears to be very much a novel and friendship, love and the need for something to believe in. Written in a first person perspective with a "chatty" vice it moves along smoothly enough. I'm just not entirely sure the tale is strong enough.

Also this is realy bugging me it is fo' shizzle and not for shizzle. If you are going to try and use modern-ish slang then at least type it right, only appeared twice so far but both times it ripped me out of the story.
