In the future, the most underestimated person on the planet may be the only one who can save it. The year is 3897, and life on Earth is a neon dream, all flashing lights and buzzy noise – and no one remembers that behind the illuminated shell above them there's a night sky filled with stars. As she turns 11, neurodivergent, freckled Astrifer Nova is nothing like her sporty, high-achieving twin brother, Blaze. And on the day of her Work Path Allocation ceremony which determines the course of her life, she is crushed when she gets assigned to something as boring as the sock factory. But all is not as it seems, and as she uncovers layers of hidden truths all around her, Astrifer discovers that the world is bigger than she ever imagined – and that it’s up to her and a motley crew of new friends (including one from very far away) to challenge the status quo. Turns out, their differences may be exactly what the planet needs…

With incredible twists and turns and an action-packed story, this
is a thrilling, unputdownable adventure. The robot Adam-2 has been
locked in the basement of a lost building for over two hundred
years - until one day he is discovered by two children, and emerges
into a world ruined by a civil war between humans and advanced
intelligence. Hunted by both sides, Adam discovers that he holds
the key to the war, and the power to end it - to destroy one side
and save the other. But which side is right? Surrounded by enemies
who want to use him, and allies who mistrust him, Adam must decide
who - and what - he really is. From the author of the
highly-acclaimed Orion Lost, Adam-2 is an exciting and hugely
gripping science fiction thriller - perfect for fans of Eoin
Colfer, Anthony Horowitz, and Philip Reeve. "Brilliant - one of the
best middle grade books I've read this year ... Action, tension, a
marvellous mix of characters, and incredibly thought-provoking
while being huge fun to read. What more could you want?" - Jennifer
Killick, author of Crater Lake
'Startlingly original and achingly romantic...nothing short of masterful' Kass Morgan, bestselling author of THE 100 SERIES on DEFY THE STARS
Hunted and desperate, Abel only has one mission left that matters: save Noemi Vidal at all cost. But to do that, he not only has to escape the rallied forces of Genesis, he also must bargain with the one person in the galaxy who still has the means to destroy him: the daughter of his creator.
Alone in the universe, Noemi Vidal never wanted to be special. She only wanted to save her planet, Genesis, and after that, to save Abel. But now Noemi is something else, something more. Not quite mech, not quite human, Noemi must find her place in a universe where she is now utterly unique, all while trying to end Earth's iron grip on the planets of the Loop once and for all.
The final battle between Earth and the colony planets is here, and there's no lengths to which Earth won't go preserve its power over the colonies. But Earth doesn't foresee Noemi and Abel coming. And together, the universe's most advanced mech and its first hybrid might just have the power to change the galaxy for good ...
