It's said, if you ever meet your double, one of you has to die.......
Britain 1936. The Youngstars, a teenage troupe of performers working in variety theatre, are hauled around the country by their harsh and demanding 'maestro' Mr Pigott (known as 'the Pig'). Ollie, the put-upon, stammering youngest, has a secret plan to escape the Pig's clutches. But Ollie is soon to catch sight of a stranger who is not a stranger who will change his life. The troupe arrives at the great seaport of Liverpool. Here, a secret more remarkable than the acrobats, knife-throwers, dancers and actors who make up the cast begins to unravel, and a mystery bursting with theatrical energy, where dreams and reality collide, unfolds.
Genre: Children's Fiction
