‘A writer of genuine originality’ - The Guardian

The maze is a dangerous place. The maze is ever-changing. The maze has never been solved.

Meet twelve-year-old Drew Blake, who faces the ultimate challenge. At the heart of a heavily guarded maze lies a secret – known only as the Avenir – which has the power to unlock the future. Many have tried to steal the Avenir, but no one has ever succeeded. Drew is the latest to try, just like his sister Evie did before him. But Drew has his own secret: he doesn’t care about the Avenir; he must find his sister.

Facing dead ends, traps and double-crosses Drew realizes that the maze holds secrets more dangerous than he ever imagined. Can he find the Avenir and save Evie before it’s too late?

His future depends on it . . .

Critic Reviews

Action packed from start to finish . . . Fun and tense in the best way! (Nathanael Lessore, award-winning author of King of Nothing)
A writer of genuine originality
No one writes fast-paced, high-concept, contemporary books like Christopher Edge. Books that kids LOVE! (Hannah Gold)
Christopher Edge's books are like fireworks - short and solid on the outside, packed with sky-fulls of dazzle and surprise when you set them off. (Frank Cottrell-Boyce)
Supremely thrilling and original (Jack Mackay, bestselling author of Gloam)
The finest white-knuckle ride of a writer we have! (Phil Earle)
One of our most original children's writers (Sam Copeland)
No ordinary author
How to Steal the Future is an exciting page-turner of a book, which is pretty much action all the way. This is a very clever book, and the reasons for protagnost Drew needing to find his sister gradually become clearer.
Pacey, thrilling and cryptic, this book will have older middle grade and teen readers hiding it under the covers at bedtime so they can sneak in just one more chapter. (Kate Heap)
This kept me gripped from the get-go. Middle-grade sci-fi. Full of twists and turns. Thought provoking! (@thisgeordieteaches)
One of the reasons Christopher Edge has become such a beloved author is his ability to combine big concepts with genuine emotion. Many writers can create exciting adventures. Many writers can create clever twists. Very few can do both while making readers care deeply about the characters at the centre of the story. In How to Steal the Future, he achieves that balance beautifully.
This is a fantastic, fast-paced adventure that throws readers into the action from the very first chapter. The high-octane pace is maintained throughout as Drew negotiates physical, logical and psychological challenges of all kinds. Along the way he learns the truth about the maze, leading to an incredible twist that will leave you reeling! Just as in Puzzle Room, another of Christopher Edge’s excellent books, there are opportunities in this adventure for readers to solve the challenging puzzles alongside the characters. Its combination of pace, intrigue, interactivity and action make this title seriously appealing, and this is a book that many readers will find unputdownable.
