Review:

‘Mahy’s cleverly structured and fast-moving book is split into time bands as the clock ticks forward and Ellis must find a way to escape. There is a strong dose of reality in the fantasy as Ellis lives a lifetime in 24 hours and learns to leave behind the past to face up to the dangerous world of adulthood.’
Guardian

From the Back Cover:

''Home, holidays, free,' thought Ellis. Well not quite free, with university on the horizon. Free although his best friend is dead. Free to think about the future. Free to transform his life.'

When Ellis meets up with Jackie and three mysterious sisters, he is drawn into a number of increasingly bizarre situations. They introduce him to the Land of Smiles, where appearances are deceptive and being different is the norm. Ellis is sucked relentlessly into a drama from which he cannot escape. It's a matter of life or death, but time is against him.

The clock ticks on.

In twenty-four hours, Ellis is changed forever.
