Like his mother, Jem, Adam has a terrible gift. When he looks into people's eyes, he can see the date they will die. It's hard enough living with such a frightening ability, but life is about to get much worse. Suddenly, everyone around him has the same date - January 2027. Something huge is going to happen. Something bad. But what is it? And what can he do about it? The terrifying sequel to Numbers, which was shortlisted for the Waterstone's Children's Book Prize 2009. Praise for Numbers - "Intelligent and life-affirming...Rachel Ward is certainly one to watch." Philip Ardagh, The Guardian
