Pull

Rosie Clayton witnesses a mugging on her first night in London-and then the scene rewinds itself. She finds herself standing in the same place again, with the mugging happening just like before, except this time a stranger steps in and stops it. The stranger, Albert, and his band of misfit crime-fighters, have a special ability, which allows them to rewind just enough time to undo a recent event. Someone is hunting Albert and his crew- and now that Rosie's been seen with them, she's a target too. Each step into this magical side of London introduces Rosie to a family legacy that she never knew existed, and dangerous forces that could unravel her home in an instant.

Reminiscent of Cassie Clare's Infernal Devices, Anne Riley's portrayal of contemporary London will envelop readers in a mystic haze as Pull's dynamic cast of characters fills the pages with energy. History is rarely confined to the past - the key is learning to use it before it can haunt you.
