Synopsis
After being bullied mercilessly, Elliot is determined to reinvent himself when he moves house with Mum and Dad and goes to a new school. He is going to be so cool that no one will touch him. He's going to stand out just enough not to get noticed.
But he is too successful, and he does get noticed by the Guardians. They are a mysterious group of three who manipulate others and run the school with a reign of terror. They invite Elliot to become one of them. He faces an agonising decision, whether to use this new found power or risk standing up for himself and facing the consequences.

From the Back Cover
FIRST RULE OF SURVIVAL: STAND OUT JUST ENOUGH TO FIT IN.
Elliot has been a victim - the target of brutal violence at school. Now, at his new school, he's determined to reinvent himself. He will stand out just enough to fit in.
But soon Elliot is singled out by the Guardians, a manipulative group of boys who run the school with their own set of rules. Step out of line and their retribution will be swift and severe. The Guardians don't want to hurt Elliot - they want him to become one of them.
Elliot is being offered power. Power he has never known. But at what cost?
New school, new life. Or a future too similar to the past. Only Elliot can make the choice . . .
'brings to mind Cormier's The Chocolate War . . . makes riveting reading.' Bookseller
