Originally intended as young adult fiction it's now receiving reviews from readers of all ages. With a cast of quirky characters and plenty of sharp dialogue this paranormal mystery beautifully combines the supernatural with a touch of humour to create an inspirational adventure with a spiritual message. "Sharpe's debut novel applies a fresh fantasy premise to a classic coming-of-age tale. This book's great strength is its keen insight into the nature of human fear, hope and love. Clever and affecting in a vividly imagined world." Kirkus Reviews "A rare discovery - a book for all ages. It's not often that a story resonates and captivates in such a satisfying manner."

We traverse this world (mainly in London) 6 months after the storm. We see things through Ellie's eyes. Ellie is just 15 years old, but forced through these bizarre circumstances to act more like a grown up. All the children have to suddenly grow up and literally run the world. We see Ellie and her friends grow up very quickly. They face a very adult world. Ellie has the benefit of meeting a bizarre group of people. You, as the reader, will love some of these characters.
Mr. Sharpe is an amazing writer. He has managed to make these characters believable and lovable. The social issues faced by these kids are masterfully described by Mr. Sharpe. You will laugh, love and cry with these characters.
I recommend PURPLE for kids of all ages. ( )
