Rosie Goes to War (27 page)
Shome Dasgupta
There was a voice once that sang the ocean to sleepâ¦
March is born in April, just as the sun is setting. A singing baby who cannot sleep, she sets Kolkaper on edge. The Town Council orders scientists to take her away and study her at the Cave Forest, a place for freaks like her. Acting quickly, March's parents send her away to the distant town of Koofay. But March's destiny is tied to that of Kolkaper.
She must return to save the city from itself.
An enchanting fable about love and faith and accepting the odd ones among us.
Luca, Son of the Morning
Tom Anderson
The water is warm ⦠but can you be in too deep?
Luca loves reggae, hates his parents' rum habit, and wishes his dad could get a proper job. He also loves Gaby (though he'd never admit it to her face) so upsetting her is enough to push him into a dark place. Retreating to the local beach, as he always does when he can't sleep, watching the waves gives his life some sort of rhythm.
One night, as he lets the tide lull him, a group of figures emerge from the water and walk past him, unseeing. Spellbound by these impossible sea-men, Luca holds nightly vigils at the beach. Until one night the sailors beckon him to follow them back into the seaâ¦
The Deepest Cut
Natalie flynn
âYou haven't said a single word since you've been here. Is it on purpose?' I tried to answer David but I couldn't ⦠my brain wanted to speak but my throat wouldn't cooperateâ¦
Adam blames himself for his best friend's death. After attempting suicide, he is put in the care of a local mental health facility. There, too traumatized to speak, he begins to write notebooks detailing the events leading up to Jake's murder, trying to understand who is really responsible and cope with how needless it was as a petty argument spiralled out of control and peer pressure took hold.Sad but unsentimental, this is a moving story of friendship and the aftermath of its destruction.
