Description

From the award-winning author of The Brightstorm Chronicles,
Vashti Hardy, comes a powerful new story set in a surprising world
filled with action, adventure and big questions about family
and what it means to be human. Perfect for readers aged 9+ and for
fans of Ross Welford and Piers Torday.

Twelve-year-old Rose can’t remember anything before last week,
when she woke up not knowing her own name, her own house, or or
even her own mother. The only thing Rose recognized was her puppy,
North.

But Mother patiently explained everything – well, not everything.
Not the real-feeling dreams Rose has about a mysterious
forest she half-recognizes. Or why she is not allowed to stray
beyond the garden, out into Luminelle, the vast city surrounding
them.

Mother is kind and helpful, but Rose can’t shake the feeling that
something’s not right. Or maybe it’s everything that’s
not right?

But then, when Rose flees to the outside world with North, it
quickly becomes clear to Rose that she is different. And for reasons
she doesn’t understand, she’s dangerous.

On an unforgettable journey of discovery, Rose uncovers life-altering
truths about the city she’s in, the people around her …
and ultimately herself.

An action-packed adventure filled with warmth
and humour, this story will expand your mind – and your heart

Tackling big questions such as: What does it mean to be human?
What does it mean to be family?

By the award-winning author of The Brightstorm Chronicles,
Vashti Hardy
