Beyond the book... 

Just in Case 

Meg 

Rosoff 


Just in Case is a daring, powerful and compelling read bringing the spirit of the film Donnie Darko to the heart of middle England. The day David Case saves his brother's life, his whole world changes. Suddenly, every moment is fizzing with significance, full of what ifs? He must hide; become an entirely new person to escape Fate . . . if he can. Will changing his name, befriending an astrophysicist and gaining an imaginary pet be enough? Bewildered and obsessive, he'll try anything to survive.
