About this listen

Bestselling YA author Melinda Salisbury exposes the dark underbelly of new technologies in this gripping thriller.

When keen gamer Ivy Finch is sent to the Ash Tree Foundation after an online encounter turns dangerous, all she can think about is getting through the internet-safety course her parents have signed her up for and going back to her life. Until she meets Conrad O'Connell, famous influencer and nephew of the Ash Tree Foundation's founder Dagmar Nilsson.

Conrad showers Ivy with attention and she soon finds herself drawn into his world and his work with his aunt. But Conrad isn’t telling Ivy the whole truth about the Foundation’s purpose, and Ivy is exactly what he, and the Foundation, have been looking for…

Particularly suitable for readers aged 11+ with a reading age of 8.
