Synopses

Scavengers

Landfill has spent his life scavenging, running with wooflings, swimming with turtles and eating whatever he can catch. Old Babagoo cares for him on one condition: he must follow the rules, especially the rule to never go beyond the wall. Landfill longs to venture Outside, even though some rules are not meant to be broken.

The Memory Thieves

Cyan has lived at the Elsewhere Sanctuary for as long as he can remember, freed by Dr Haven from the dark memories of his past life. After finding a warning carved into the bones of a whale skeleton, he begins to question what he had to forget in order to feel happy.

When a new resident, Jonquil, resists the sanctuary’s treatment and Dr Haven turns to harsher measures, Cyan sets out on a secret mission to uncover the truth about the sanctuary and himself.

Furthermoor

Twelve-year-old Bren finds the real world hostile, with school dominated by a vicious bully, Shaun, and home life fractured. Since his sister Evie died in an accident, his only safe place is Furthermoor, an imagined world of mechanised trees and clockwork animals where Evie is still alive.

In Furthermoor, Bren believes no one can hurt him, until the mysterious Featherly arrives and forces him to face his deepest fears and decide whether his place in the real world is worth fighting for.
