Count is a humorous story from the critically acclaimed and bestselling author, Melvin Burgess.

Brandon is a boaster - he says he is brilliant at lots of things. Then he is challenged to count up to ten million.

So Brandon starts - one, two, three ... and before long he is up to one thousand. Everyone around him is bewildered and annoyed - his friend Waris, his teachers and Miss Hexx, the head.

But Brandon can't stop counting. And then strange, impossible things start happening. The numbers are taking over everything...
