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. 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 starring Sennia Nanua, Glenn Close, Gemma Arterton and Paddy Considine.

Reviews for The Boy on the Bridge

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
