Landfill has lived his whole life as a scavenger, running with
wooflers, swimming with turtles and feasting on fresh gull. Old
Babagoo has always looked after him, on one condition - follow his
rules. NEVER COME LOOKING OUTSIDE. NEVER RISE ABOVE THE WALL. But
despite the dangers, Landfill longs to see Outside. And some rules
are made to be broken.
Nominated for the CILIP Carnegie Medal 2022 What you don't remember
can't hurt you... Cyan has lived at the Elsewhere Sanctuary for as
long as he can remember, freed by Dr Haven from dark memories of
his past life. But when Cyan finds a mysterious warning carved into
the bones of a whale skeleton, he starts to wonder what he had to
forget to be so happy. New resident, Jonquil, begins to resist the
sanctuary's treatment, preferring to hold on to her memories - even
the bad ones. So when Dr Haven resorts to harsher measures, Cyan
embarks on a secret mission to discover the truth about the
sanctuary...and himself. "Marvellously visual and gripping" - A. M.
Howell
The real world is a hostile place for twelve-year-old Bren, his
schooldays stalked by vicious bully, Shaun, and his family life
fractured at home. Ever since his sister Evie died in an accident,
Bren's only safe space is Furthermoor, an imagined world of
mechanised trees and clockwork animals, where Evie is still alive.
In Furthermoor, no one can hurt Bren...until the mysterious
Featherly arrives. Now Bren is forced to confront his deepest fears
and decide if his place in the real world is worth fighting for.
Enter a world as vast and dark as your imagination, in this
unforgettable coming-of-age story about courage, friendship and
finding your voice.
Landfill is a boy raised with animals behind the walls of
Hinterland -an industrial landscape succumbing to weeds and wild
flowers. His guardian, a tormented scavenger called Babagoo,
protects him from the horrors of Outside, on one condition - follow
his rules: NEVER COME LOOKING OUTSIDE. NEVER RISE ABOVE THE WALL.
But as he gets older, Landfill's curiosity is winning out over
obedience and he begins to question whether Outside is deserving of
such fear and loathing. And when Landfill finally meets an Outsider
named Dawn, his world is turned upside down as he learns that the
Hinterland isn't what it seems and that Babagoo hasn't being
telling him the whole truth...
