A False Creation

When sixteen-year-old Lola has nightmares, they seem to be so real. Has she inherited a Gift from her grandmother which enables her to see future events unfold in front of her? When she dreams about the murder of a young girl, Lola's problems escalate into a war between forces for good and evil, as she and her friends join the mysterious Guard movement to confront the demons both in her head and in her town.

D.I.S.C. - Direct Interface Shadow Control

Joseph Lanes is lying on the ground, in the mud, battered and bruised from another encounter with the bullying McKenzie brothers. A fairly normal occurrence for fifteen-year-old Joseph. Being skinny and ginger makes him a frequent target and Joseph has given up trying to fight back.

Little does Joseph know that his life is about to change forever. As he painfully starts to get up he notices, in the undergrowth, a small disc with a flashing light that he cannot resist the overwhelming urge to press. He is immediately transformed into a soldier, complete with a sophisticated full body protective suit, and powers he had never imagined. But he does not appear to be on Earth. He is not alone. There are four other teenagers, two boys and two girls, who seem to have been transported in a similar manner to himself.

They soon discover they are not who they think they are and they have a terrible mission to fulfil.

The Changeling's Child

Born with twelve fingers and a twisted spine, Hobnail was ugly and unloved. She was convinced the faeries had swapped her at birth but was content with her life, living alone with her precious pets, Warty Toad and Snidey Slug. Together, they search for strange bits and bobs, to hide deep underground, in the Dark Hole.

They are not alone, though. There are watchers and listeners in these parts. Every move is noted and reported back.

When Warty Toad and Snidey Slug discover a lost baby, delight turns to fear as their mistress realises she is in trouble.

Can she win the race against time, to return the child to his family - and save herself - or will the mysterious Leaf Man triumph?

Christian and Layla

Fourteen-year-old Christian Turner starts his new life in the small town of Almanbury. Unhappy with his father's decision to move there from South Coast, Christian's spirits reach a new low. Just when he feels like his life is going up in smoke, he meets Layla Thomas, a bubbly schoolmate, who turns out to be the love of his life. They sweep each other off their feet. It's the type of love that we all want to find; one that will scare us a little. From that day, they are Christian and Layla, Layla and Christian. Inseparable, together forever... until, after years of a perfect relationship, Layla disappears from Christian's life without a goodbye. Devastated, Christian refuses to accept that she left and struggles to move on, wanting to understand why, and hoping she will come home. Beautiful, romantic, funny and sad, this is a story of two people who are destined to be together. But will they?

Star's Reflection

What do you see when you look in the mirror? For schoolgirls Vida and Sammi, it is a very special mirror with a very different reflection, for they can see life in Ancient Egypt. So who are Little Star and Ineri, and what is the significance of the two identical gold bracelets? More to the point for Vida and Sammi, what on earth does their maths teacher have to do with it all?

The Luminous Illusion

The Organisation. Nobody is too sure what its purpose is, or its final intentions. Anyway, why should Emma worry about it? She has work, food, a place to live and her life is given direction, thanks to the Ruler. Except, she keeps having dreams. Well, not exactly dreams, more like the stirrings of old memories. Memories she is sure don't exist. Who is Tyler, who she meets in her dreams? She is troubled and suddenly her world does not seem so secure, especially when, during a visit to the doctor to discuss her dreams her life is threatened by those meant to care for her. Her life is saved during a sudden raid by the Resistance. Coming face to face with Tyler, she realises that the world in which she has been living is not the real world and thousands of people are still being controlled by the Organisation. Joining the Resistance and fighting against the Organisation is a natural step, but one fraught with danger and confusion.

Deathcat Sally

After seventeen-year-old Sally Rancher knocks over a cat named Zachary, it's only the start of her nightmare. Trying to help, Sally is hit by a truck. Waking from a coma, she sees that half of Zachary's spirit is fused to her shoulder and he can talk. Able to communicate with animals, Sally finds when she falls asleep or becomes unconscious, both Zachary and her are pulled into No Man's Land – a dark, spine-chilling realm filled with vengeful animal spirits. As No Man's Land becomes ever more twisted and terrifying, Sally and Zachary become pivotal in solving a mystery that concerns not only them, but all life on the planet. If only Zachary could keep his mouth shut for more than five seconds, they might have some chance. Who… or what… is responsible?

Crazy Daise

Rowan is fifteen, and likes what the mirror shows her. Life is messy but she's not the kind to talk about it. When her hair begins to fall out, her French granny, Sylvie, takes her to Paris clinics and salons, but her new chic style soon falls apart. School resumes after the summer but Rowan can't face her friends or the boy she fancies – even before she loses the last hair on her head. But at an Alopecia UK support group, she meets Daisy Waterhouse. Passionate and unafraid, Daisy is an activist with ideas that challenge everything Rowan's always taken for granted. And her best friend is a boy called Flame who's more exciting than anything on any screen. Soon Rowan finds herself caught up in much bigger dramas – because Crazy Daise is a liability and there's no stopping her.

A Simple Wish

John Henderson always knew something was missing in his life and, like most people, assumed it was his mother who had died five years previous. Upon gaining a wish from a mysterious girl in the middle of the night, it was obvious in John's mind what that wish would be.

John, however, didn't expect what he got. When awakening the following morning, his wish had actually come true.

The 'something' missing in his life actually turned out to be far beyond his comprehension, and in this parallel universe he suddenly finds himself in, John has a lot to learn and even more to understand on how things can be so different.
