‘There are other ways to be mighty, you know. Not just world
weaving. We got all sorts of other powers, ones that are just as
magic. Slower, surer ways to change what’s around us. I’m
talking about kindness. I’m talking about love. That’s what Ma
was strong in.’ Hush Quiet is a girl with an infinite baseball
cap and certain views on love and kindness. Her sister, Matilda,
carries around a shotgun full of bees, and doesn’t need much
excuse to fire it. Hush and Matilda have been hiding out in a
pocket world, ever since the war started. Ever since Dustbowl fell.
Ever since what happened to Ma. But when a boy with no memory
crosses into their reality, the sisters must confront their past,
each other, and the intoxicating power that has torn their lives
apart . . . the power known as worldweaving.

Greta is a girl on a mission: to venture to Avalon and bring back a
hero who can save her home from destruction by the monstrous giant
Yuk. Many heroes have tried before now. Many have failed. What
Greta needs is a hero whose courage and self-belief are greater
than himself. She needs Hercufleas. The only problem: he is a flea,
no bigger than a raisin. But the smallest person might just have
the biggest effect . . .
Pia lives in a zoo in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with her
parents (both ghosts), several old and cranky genies, a devil, and
two young angels. She spends her days trimming genie-beards, trying
to avoid being tricked into selling her soul, and waiting for the
angels to make a miracle big enough to save the world. Then the
angels go missing. Can she solve the riddles of the mysterious
haloes the angels have left behind? Is the zoo's devil really
trying to help her? And what does this all have to do with her best
friends, the Rekkers? Pia needs to solve the mystery fast, because
everything around her seems to be ending: her friendships, her
childhood, and maybe even the world itself.
