Earth has been waiting for over two millennium for the Messiah to pay a visit.?That is until, one day, God bans Jesus from Heaven and sends him back to Earth – where he is promptly kidnapped. Unfortunately God is out to lunch, so it is left to the most motley crew of teenagers to save Jesus' life. But what can a sarky cripple, a moany epileptic, a hulk-sized youth with Down's syndrome and a would-be spiderboy do against a sleekly organised anti-Christ group? Not a lot, as it turns out – one by one they succumb, until just one is left. Running scared and with no one to turn to for help, he has a race against time to save his friends' lives and the hopes of mankind... The New Disciples and the Second Coming is a story bursting with suspense and unexpected turns of events. Nothing is quite what it seems and nothing will ever be the same again. This funny, irreverent children's novel is for readers aged 11-15.
