Adam's thirteenth birthday marks the start of a deadly countdown as a crazed cult leader targets him for sacrifice.

Thirteen boys. Twelve dead. One survives. For now . . .


Adam was born at the stroke of midnight at the start of a new millennium. He is the target of a cult who believe boys born at that time must die before the end of their thirteenth year. Twelve boys have been killed so far.

Coron, the deranged cult leader, will stop at nothing to bring in his new kingdom. And now he is planning a bombing spectacular across London to celebrate the sacrifice of his final victim . . .

A pacy YA thriller full of twists and turns, Thirteen is the first in an explosive two part series from Tom Hoyle. Perfect for fans of Michael Grant and Robert Muchamore, the story continues in the action-packed sequel Spiders.

'Fast-paced and brimming with action, menace and suspense . . . a truly gripping and gritty thriller' – Lancashire Evening Post


Readers are gripped by Thirteen and Spiders:

'The definition of a page turner'
'Spooky, action packed and exciting from the first page'
'This series just has me hooked'

Tom Hoyle is the headmaster of a North London boys' school. Thirteen is his first book, and he followed this with the equally exciting Spiders. He says 'I wanted every chapter to be dramatic and engaging, the literary equivalent of a modern action film, something that even the most reluctant readers in my English class would want to pick up.'
