Synopsis

First in a new trilogy, by the author of the Jiggy McCue books. Two years ago, Alaric's mother died in an accident, and his world fell apart.

From the Inside Flap

WHAT IF YOU FOUND YOURSELF IN ANOTHER REALITY AND SOMEONE ELSE WAS LIVING YOUR LIFE? When his mother died in a terrible train crash, Alaric Underwood's Life began to unravel. Two years on, aged sixteen, he still hasn't got over the loss. But on the second anniversary of the tragedy, Alaric stumbles into an alternative reality - in which his mother survived the accident. The trouble is, in this reality there's no room for him. Here, his place has been taken by a girl, a girl called Naia, who is living the life that should have been his. A CRACK IN THE LINE is the first volume of Michael Lawrence's brilliant and unpredictable trilogy, THE ALDOUS LEXICON.
