Sleeper is a fastmoving story in the tradition of the espionage genre, featuring a female protagonist, Sara Gray. Sara finds herself on the run after classified information is stolen during her best friend's 16th birthday party. She is determined to find out who's responsible. Themes treated are identity, belonging, morality and ethics, film piracy and the nature of family, power and wealth. As part of the English Alive program, the novel has a number of accompanying worksheets, found in the English Alive Teacher Resource Book Phase 3, covering language, reading, thinking strategies, and an overview of the novel. Sara Gray is sixteen years old. She can speak several languages, ride a motorbike at high speed, and beat a grown man in hand-to-hand combat. Only she doesn't know it...yet. Living in the Indian city of Udaipur, Sara attends Calderstone's International, the school of choice for families with ties to business, tourism and the government - families who must guard against prying eyes. When classified information is stolen during her best friend's birthday party, Sara Gray is determined to find out who is responsible, but she must first answer other questions. Who has been sending her cryptic messages? How has she developed incredible new abilities? And why is her head suddenly filled with memories of someone else's childhood? The answers will lead Sara from the backstreets of Rajastan to the playground of Bollywood's elite, forcing her to confront a terrifying possibility: that her whole life has been a lie.
