Fifteen year old David Case is desperate to cheat a Fate clearly out to get him. The first move is to change his name to Justin; the second to adopt a new persona courtesy of a charity shop and the eccentric photographer, Agnes. But Fate is not so easily tricked. Edgy, quirky, thoroughly enjoyable - or very irritating, Rosoff captures the surrealism of the teenage mind in a second novel which is as original as her first.
