Publisher: Usborne

On the day before the world is meant to end, Sanjeet dyes his hair pink… He’s determined not to die without ever having really lived, so he’s come up with the Doomsday List. Ten things he needs to do before the sky comes crashing down. Sola knows the world’s not going anywhere. But, as Sanjeet’s best friend, she’s decided to help him out.

As the seconds tick down to midnight, Sanjeet will need all his courage – and Sola’s – to finish the list. Especially number ten. The one that scares him the most.

One night, two friends, and a list that will change everything… The world-ending love story that will give you fireworks, from the bestselling author of ACE OF SPADES, Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé.
