Description
An adrenaline-fuelled adventure in a new series by top thriller writer Simon Lelic. Ollie Turner isn't sure he's ready to be a hero ...
Our city. Our secret. Our rules.
Snatched from his bed in the middle of the night, Ollie Turner is thrust into a world of danger and excitement.
Below the streets of London he discovers a secret city: a network of tunnels that lead him to the Haven, a sanctuary for kids run by kids, and the headquarters of an organisation that fights for justice everywhere.
Soon Ollie is caught up in the Haven's battle: a quest to stop 'Mad Maddy' Sikes from destroying the city. But time is running out for Ollie and his new friends. Will they manage to stop Sikes before it is too late? And who is the traitor in their midst?
A book for readers aged 11+ from the writer of adult thrillers THE HOUSE, THE LIAR'S ROOM and RUPTURE.

This was a lot of fun! An underground circuit of tunnels underground London.
People who run and hide in the tunnels across London. Ollie is a good hero - goes to bed one day and then all of a sudden he's on a chase to protect the city and find the traitor in his midst.
Now I might not be the target audience but I remember Scooby Doo kind of madcap adventures where anything and everything can happen. That's not a derogatory description of this novel in any way. It's got the energy, excitement and all that and more.
Very hard - ie impossible to booktrail sadly! haha I didn't realise this. There are plenty of tunnels that you can visit in London so it makes me want to go and see which part of London you can find the tunnels in. The Haven is a group of kids who hide and protect the city - like Harry Potter club of people who seem to do magic of all descriptions. Imagine the HQ of a group of kids underground in London. Like Scotland Yard, they fight for justice.
Sounds very thrilling and I think children and teenagers will get stuck into this. Mad Maddy Sikes by the way is a great name for a villian.
