Hodder Literature: a new and exciting series of literature titles for Key Stage 3 for whole class use. 'Mondays are red. Sadness has an empty blue smell. And music can taste of anything from banana puree to bat's pee.

That's what I need to explain, starting with the day it all began, the day I woke up in a hospital bed with a kaleidoscope in my head...' Luke wakes from a coma to find that his sensory world has been transformed -- he's seeing music, smelling colours and tasting what his fingers touch.

But there's also the sinister Dreeg, a chameleon-like incubus who's inhabiting his head.

As Luke begins to recover, he is tempted by Dreeg to strike a Faustian pact -- his soul in exchange for limitless power.

Carried along at first by the dazzling promises, Luke must eventually make a fatal choice -- the irresistible temptations of teaching his conceited older sister a lesson she won't forget and winning his athletics race or reverting to his honest, ordinary life.
