Mikey Baxter isn't an ordinary fourteen-year-old. Ever since the accident, there's been the Backwards - shadows that come to life and reveal glimpses of the past. And Mikey's past isn't something he particularly wants to revisit. His dad did a bad thing, and now he's in jail. His mum isn't coping well, and it's up to Mikey to make sure she's okay.

Still, a book very deserving of the four stars I've given it, and I will definitely be looking out for more novels by Hammond. I readily recommend this to anyone who enjoys a mystery story with a slightly supernatural twist.

As well as Skellig and Curious Incident, something about ''The Night Sky in my Head'' reminded me a little of [[Holes by Louis Sachar]] - if you enjoy books with a slightly quirky, supernatural twist, give this fabulous book a go.
