Publisher's Summary

A thrilling debut, with extraordinary twists and incredible action, from an incredible new voice in children’s fiction.

I can steal time. The most I can take at the moment is fifteen seconds, which is not a lot. Grandmother took almost three minutes once and she told me she’s done more, but I never saw it. She says there are stories of someone who can take all the time in the world, but how can that be right? When Alex and his father are forced to flee their home to escape a brutal government, they begin a life-threatening journey across Europe. But when they are separated before they can reach Britain, Alex finds himself alone, with only his extraordinary gift to keep him alive.

Perfect for fans of Alex Rider, Artemis Fowl, and Inception, Running out of Time is an ingenious, high-concept thriller with a twist that you won’t believe.

Shortlisted for the Week Junior's Children's Audiobook of the Year Award 2023

Critic Reviews

"Alex can steal time. Now, with his father lost, he is alone on an English beach, and his gift is all he has. A gripping combination of science fiction and social justice" - Marianne Levy, iNews

"The novel may well appeal to fans of Inception and Artemis Fowl. The question Simon Fox leaves his readers to think about is, 'What would you do with fifteen seconds'?" - Ann Cowling, Just Imagine
