A thrilling, high-octane adventure actually written for young adults, the story is as relentless as The Hunger Games and a rule-breaking reimagining of the zombie novel. 'It's never really been my thing to be the brave one ? that's always been my older brother, Patrick, but something world-changing is happening in our small town of Creek's Cause. Parasites have infected everyone over the age of 18, making them violent, and if they even sniff a kid they either bash our brains in or take us back to their creepy lair. We are trapped at the school with the other remaining survivors, including Patrick's girlfriend Alex, and we don't know how long we'll last. The school is surrounded by infected adults, and we are sure that there is something else out there, something controlling the people that used to be our parents, our guardians. But here's the real problem, Patrick is turning 18 in a few days, so it's up to me - Chance Rain - to find a way to save him and maybe, just maybe, if we survive the next few weeks, then we can help save humanity.' For ages 11 and up. 387pp in paperback.

My Granny is a great traveller. When she was younger she travelled all over the world. To China, Russia, Egypt and Peru. She crossed rivers and mountain ranges, explored jungles and towering cities. Now her legs won't carry her much further than the door, but she still travels...and sometimes she takes me with her. Together they travel to Delhi, the capital of India with the Hindu god Ganesha which has the heads of an elephant. Tricycle taxis called rickshaws roam the streets. We've been to Rome where Ancient Romans came to the Colosseum to watch Gladiators fight. Italy is the home of ice cream and spaghetti. And Jerusalem...this city is 3,000 years old! We've been to London where 18 kings and queens are buried in Westminster Abbey and New York where the streets in the centre of the city are all in straight lines. The grown-ups say Granny is confused and doesn't know where she is. But I think she knows exactly where she is. It just isn't where the grown-ups are. We've sailed the Great Lakes and hiked the Himalayas. We've snorkelled the Great Barrier Reef and dined at the Eiffel Tower. Granny can't remember yesterday but she knows all about the world. A sensitive introduction to old age confusion and dementia through a loving and imaginative relation between Granny and her grandchild and their colourful journeys. Gentle and positive. A big picture book all in colour.
