In THE BOY ON THE BRIDGE, M. R. Carey returns to the world of THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS, the phenomenal word-of-mouth bestseller which is now a critically acclaimed film

'SPECTACULAR!' No. 1 bestselling author Martina Cole
'UNPUTDOWNABLE' Irish Times

The thrilling stand-alone novel set in the same world as the million-copy bestseller THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS.

Once upon a time, in a land blighted by terror, there was a very clever boy.

The people thought the boy could save them, so they opened their gates and sent him out into the world.

To where the monsters lived.

'Carey writes with compassion and fire - strange and surprising and humane' Lauren Beukes, author of THE SHINING GIRLS

'I loved it just as much as THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GITS, if not more' Martina Cole

'A tense story with superbly rendered characters' SciFiNow

'A terrifying, emotional page-turner that explores what it means to be human' Kirkus

Praise for The Boy on the Bridge: Discover the word-of-mouth phenomenon

Carey writes with compassion and fire - strange and surprising and humane
As fresh as it is terrifying . . . It left me sighing with envious joy
Haunting, heartbreaking
If you only read one novel this year, make sure it's this one - it's amazing
Complex,heartbreaking, hopeful and intelligently written . . . Enigmatic and utterly gripping
Original, thrilling and powerful
Takes hold of you and doesn't let go
Scary, tense and fast-paced . . . but with a heart-warming tenderness
