Book Description

Is one life worth more than another?
Gil must decide.

Gil’s explosive relationship with his scientist father is brought to crisis point when he gets involved with Jude, a charismatic animal rights campaigner who is targeting his dad. At first, Gil relishes the chance to take a stand against his father, but he finds himself facing a devastating dilemma when he learns that his mother is a possible carrier for a terrible brain disease, and his dad’s animal research could save her life. The tense, page-turning plot centres on an electrifying portrait of a teenager struggling for independence.

Editorial Reviews

Review

³Without a shadow of doubt, Fifty Fifty is one of the best first books I have ever read.² – Nicola Patrick, Librarian, The Henry Box School

³Riveting story² ­ Irish Examiner

³A powerful and challenging first novel with a convincing central character. The title is key to the book¹s dilemmas Š the themes of animal rights and genetics are topical and the book has the pace of a thriller whilst managing to give a balanced view of both sides of the debate on a difficult subject and to show all the characters in a sympathetic way as they express their different views.² ­ School Librarian, June 2011

³Totally gripping Š so many twists and turns that you might think you¹ve figured it all out but you haven¹t. The storytelling is fantastic ­ Powell definitely has skill with writing and especially writing for teens… A thrilling story that isn¹t hindered by romance on every page Š totally had me questioning my own ethics.² ­ Inkscratchers blog
