Boy In The Tower by Polly Ho-Yen is an incredible book. I believe that Boy In The Tower is a contemporary fiction book as well as a bit of horror because in the book there are these things called bluchters that kill people.
In this story, the towers are being eaten by the bluchters and are falling down, but Ade is stuck in the tower with his mum because she has agoraphobia. Until Ade meets Dory and Obi, he is all alone because his mum is always in bed and claims she just needs to sleep while the world outside is changing around them, and she doesn’t even realise it.
My favourite character in this book is Obi because he is so mysterious but means well. He is also so caring because when everyone left, he stayed and supplied Ade and his mother until Ade met him. So really, he helped Ade without even knowing who he was!
