“Far better written than most novels
for adults.”—The Washington Post
The Wrong Hands
NIGEL RICHARDSON
FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD GRAHAM SINCLAIR was born with huge, strange
hands. He was also born with a secret. The only time he’s ever told
someone his secret, it got him into big trouble. So he won’t be telling
anyone ever again.
“Riveting.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Author and journalist Richardson tells a cautionary tale about the public
gaze of the media on individual lives—a notion that will not be lost on
young readers of this appealing novel.”—Publishers Weekly
“Part thriller, part fable, The Wrong Hands has elements of magic realism
reminiscent of Skellig and a teenage narrator with the kind of ingenue voice
that marked The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. . . . An
intriguing read for young teens.”—The Sunday Telegraph (London)
“[A] clever debut novel.”—Booklist
Nigel Richardson was the deputy travel editor for London’s Daily Telegraph
for 13 years and continues to write for the newspaper. The Wrong Hands was
his first novel.
