The Flask Summary

The Flask by Nicky Singer

An unforgettable standalone novel from Nicky Singer, author of the sensational, award-winning FEATHER BOY.

Twelve-year-old Jess is grieving for her beloved Aunt Edie, and anxiously awaiting the birth of her twin brothers, when she finds a mysterious glass flask hidden in a desk. The flask is beautiful to Jess, and soon she starts to believe that it contains a magical life-force. When her half-brothers are born critically ill, Jess becomes convinced that their survival depends on whats happening to the flask

Through Jess's stunning narration, Nicky Singer explores the meaning of life, and the interconnected nature of all things - in a way which is entirely accessible to young readers.

The Flask Reviews

Praise for FEATHER BOY:

a brilliant debut novel that really does merit the category title of Book You Cannot Put Down.
Ian Hislop, Blue Peter Awards Judge

Each copy should come with a torch for a spellbinding midnight conclusion.
Telegraph

Inventive, original and full of surprises, its the sort of dazzling debut novel that most publishers would fall over themselves to snap up
T2

Feather Boy is the most intelligent book for youngsters Ive read for a very long time. Every 12-year-old will see a bit of themselves in Robert and wont be able to put this book down until Feather Boys emotional, thought-provoking climax. Fabulous.
Funday Times

This first childrens book is a winner.
