ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- The world has adapted to a form of instantaneous transport using d-mat booths. Some people refuse to use them, thinking that it is an abomination to be copied by a machine and reassembled, but mostly people don't think about the consequences. Clair and her best friend Libby are in to Lucky Jumping, where the coolest people assemble for spontaneous parties, and when they manage to find a great location, they become small celebrities in the circle of cognescenti. Unfortunately for Clair, she has fallen for Libby's boyfriend, and Libby has started to act strangely. When a secret code is offered that will help change your appearance as you use d-mat, Clair is repulsed, but Libby fascinated. What seems to be a simple thing turns out to be Clair's worst nightmare, and she finds herself on the run with a mob of Abstainers and with a mysterious on-line ally who isn't what they seem to be… A cracker of a novel, the first in a trilogy. 14+ ~ Lindy

Clair lives in a world revolutionised by d-mat, a global teleport system that allows people to transport themselves instantaneously around the world. When a coded note promises improvement - the chance to change your body any way you want, making it stronger, taller, more beautiful - Clair thinks it's too good to be true, but her best friend, Libby, is determined to give it a try. What starts as Libby's dream turns into Clair's nightmare when Libby falls foul of a deadly trap. With the help of Jesse, the school freak, and a mysterious online friend called Q, Clair's attempt to protect Libby leads her to an unimagined world of conspiracies and cover-ups. Soon her own life is at risk, and Clair is chased across the world in a desperate race against time.
