A computer hacker finds himself in trouble. Is it too late to change his ways?
It’s the long summer holidays and for one girl, it’s going to be a summer she’ll never forget.

The Storm and Other Short Stories is Esther Chilton’s third collection of prize-winning stories, following on from the success of The Siege and A Walk in the Woods.
