What's the craziest thing your mum has asked you to do? Nina doesn't have a conventional family. Her family robs banks - even she and her twelve-year-old brother Tom are in on the act now. Sophia, Nina's mother, keeps chasing the thrill: 'Anyway, their money's insured!' she says. After yet another move and another new school, Nina is fed up and wants things to change. This time she's made a friend she's determined to keep: Spencer loves weird words and will talk to her about almost anything. His mother has just left home with a man who looks like a body-builder vampire, and his father and sister have stopped talking. Spencer and Nina both need each other as their families fall apart, but Nina is on the run and doesn't know if she will ever see Spencer again. Steph Bowe once again explores the hearts and minds of teenagers in a novel full of drama, laughter and characters with strange and wonderful ways.
