Twins Ashleigh and Aiden have always promised to protect each other,
but after an accident on a school trip, Aiden starts behaving strangely.
Are they just growing apart, or is something more sinister going on?
In a future Australia ravaged by climate change, twins Ashleigh and
Aiden Delatour have always promised to protect and be there for each
other, no matter what. Their privileged upbringing and loving, wealthy
parents leave them with little to worry about. But when Aiden is
seriously injured during a school trip, the twins' entire world begins
to unravel.
Back home from the hospital, something about Aiden seems different and
Ashleigh's quest to find out why will uncover dark truths about the
world they thought they knew, challenge their bond as twins and push how
far they are willing to go to keep their promises.
Catch Me If I Fall is a thrilling, timely examination of the possible
future of our planet, the true meaning of family and our
responsibilities to each other.
