From killers to conservationists, Carnegie-shortlisted Chris Vick
tells the story of three generations of the Kristensen family,
their history as whale hunters and later their mission to save the
great whales and our planet. Summer, the Present Fiery and fierce,
computer geek and eco-activist, Abi is holidaying with her
grandmother on an island off the Norwegian coast. Having developed
and befriended an AI device, Moonlight, she hopes to organise a
global protest. On the island, she learns her great-grandfather
rejected the family's whaling livelihood, instead creating the
first whale song recording. Inspired by him, Abi and Moonlight
translate the whales' songs and discover their stories. Whales are
under threat, their numbers rapidly dwindling. Abi is determined to
help. Autumn, 30 years later The world's ecosystems are collapsing.
There is no sight or sound of whales. Abi, her daughter, Tonje, and
a now almost conscious Moonlight live on an isolated island in the
Atlantic. They search for any sign of whales, but so far there is
only silence. Winter, the Future Tonje's search was not in vain.
Despite climate crisis and the threat of extinction, there is
always hope for the future, as nature and technology combine in a
captivating, action-packed adventure with a powerful environmental
call to arms.
Welcome back to the FAYZ! This is Book 4 in the GONE series that
Stephen King calls a 'driving, torrential narrative'. Disease is
spreading through the streets of Perdido Beach: a devastating,
hacking cough that makes the sufferers choke their guts up -
literally. Across town, Little Pete lies unconscious, struck down
by the mysterious illness. With the most powerful mutant in the
FAYZ out of action, the future of the world hangs in the balance...
The GONE series is Lord of the Flies for the 21st century. In turns
breathtaking, harrowing, and utterly terrifying. Its complex
characters and moral dilemmas will delight fans of The Hunger
Games, Divergent and The Maze Runner. This is dystopian fiction at
its best. Have you got all 6 titles in the New York Times
bestselling saga?: Gone Hunger Lies Plague Fear Light 'I am now
free to leave the FAYZ, but my time there was well spent' Stephen
King
Fifteen-year-old Justine Ross and her family travel to London,
England for what is to be a three-week vacation. While they are
there, Justine's father is to speak at a medical symposium . After
they arrive, Justine notices a shadowy figure dressed in black
which randomly appears wherever they are. She soon realizes no one
else sees the mystery figure. To top it all off, she hears a voice
tell her that time is running out! Out for what? And why her?
Frustration, fear and curiosity take hold of her as she seeks to
learn the answer. The answer comes during a daytrip to Stonehenge
when the identity of the shadowy figure is revealed. The Ross
family suddenly find themselves transported back in time to an age
of sorcerers, and kings and the magic of Wiltshire for a
once-in-a-lifetime vacation.
Private Cory Reddick is haunted by his past. As a teenager, he
had a different name: Geoff Anders. Back then, he testified against
a vicious gang, and his family was hidden by the witness protection
program. Now armed with a new name and superior reflexes, Cory
starts over with Sol System Defense. Their newest ship, "c"-Surfer,
needs his talents.
The "c"-Surfer test flight program is in trouble. The spaceship
is beautiful, but it has its share of problems. Cory's
extraordinary reflexes could be the answer to saving "c"-Surfer,
but his past may be catching up with him. The trouble he had with
the gangs on Station One now threatens his friends, his family, and
his crew.
Vengeful gang members will stop at nothing to get to him,
including sabotaging his ship and murdering the people he loves
most. It might be in his best interest to leave in order to protect
his friends-but doing so could mean the end of "c"-Surfer. Either
way, Cory's decision will have repercussions, and the consequences
could be deadly.
