Seventeen-year-old Annie Wight is convinced that women and girls need to share their stories about health and healthcare with the local community if they are to break free of the isolation that disempowers them and take back control of their health and lives. In her campaign to reinstate women at the heart of hearthside healthcare, Annie finds herself pitted against Health England, a conservative think-tank backed by pharmaceutical giants and private healthcare providers. Pretexting the de...

The In-Between is the unique passage between all universes. Outside time and space, the In-Between acts to separate universes, above all in terms of identity. As such, it functions as a brake on change and innovation flowing from one universe to another. When Ellie's grandfather tries to encourage her to go on a mission through the In-Between to find a remedy for his wife's dementia, he has no idea how this natural resistance to change will thwart his plans. So it's no wonder that he can't...

A tacit understanding between Peter and the girls of the Lost Girls' village has enabled him to live amongst them dressed as a girl, to be a leading figure in their work on healing and to be a soloist in their choir. But that delicate balance is about to be challenged. A trio of boisterous transgender youth, calling themselves the Colourful People, find their way to the Lost Girls' village seeking refuge from the harassment of their parents, doctors and the police. In many ways the two gro...

You know who you are? Right? Of course you do. But how would you react to being in a world where forgetfulness looms large? A world where, within weeks of arriving, you can't remember your name. A world where every attempt at evasion leads irrevocably to getting lost and perishing. That's what happens to five young girls from the Dream Class. Abducted by rogue immortals, they have been stripped of their magical abilities and abandoned on an isolated world. To make things worse, after a few...

For twelve years Sam has been imprisoned in his head, unable to express his wild ideas or anything else for that matter. Then Sami appears. Outward-going and articulate, she gets on well with everybody. The catch? Sam and Sami are a chimera; genetically distinct parts of the same person. Sam's dad has sheltered him from the savagery of a world where natural food is banished and alternative medicine is illegal. The emergence of Sami changes everything. There's a rumour the Food Police are s...

What if you discovered you were a clone? How would you feel? Shocked? Angry? Soiled? Betrayed? That's what happened to Vata, Celi and Kit. To make things worse, they were hunted by bandits, by the military, by the police and by rogue stories... StoryFolk tells the tale of these three teen-aged girls as they fight for their survival and the recognition of their fellow clones. It's a wonder they were still able to laugh and have fun.

What the hell are truth mongers you'll be asking. It's the name coined by a small group of young people who have taken it upon themselves to understand the little-explored dynamic between truth and untruth in daily life. Not from a moralistic point of view, deciding what's right and what's wrong, but rather to understand the way untruth enters people's life and subsequently influences it. They do so by getting people to tell stories of moments that were important to them. Doing so leads th...

In the struggle to end violence against women, she stumbled on the love of her life and grew to be a key public figure. The movement bore the brunt of the homophobic attacks of Nolan Kard, Lord Mayor of London. Rich entrepreneur turned politician known for his off-hand attitude and...

How would you feel if someone told you what you saw as your life, in which you felt free to act, was in fact dictated by a story written in a book? Denial? Self justification? Panic? Certainly not acceptance. There's a catch, though. To be able to break the bad news, the person would need to enter the story without being trapped by it. Plunging into a story and influencing it with her thoughts is what Bea discovers she can do when she tries to counter the antics of the boy in the book. You...

For the Storyteller, finding himself in the World o'Tales means the powerful imagination that makes his tales extraordinary now risks sending the world spiralling into catastrophe. As he struggles to adjust, fellow members of the Dream Class face their own challenges. Among them, a pair of relentless immortals wreak havoc, abducting girls and leaving chaos ...

Young Vint is bursting with life. So much so the world around him ripples with energy. His parents and carers have convinced him he's mad, repression and drugs being their sole remedies. He becomes a willing prisoner of a grey world, stripped of friends, colour, movement and music for fear they'll spark an attack… Only when he escapes with Tara, a talented young girl who goes out of her way to meet him, does he realise his so-called madness may be a gift and that he can hone and develop wi...

Kaitling –that's her name– is twelve years old, like him. She's the daughter of a magician, a prominent figure in another world. Boy and girl travel back and forth from each other's minds but have little time to get acquainted before the island is overrun by warrior priests and she has to flee. At home, ...
