The Portal to a Lost World
The phone call comes every year. 'Where are you?' Tollie asks, but she never gets an answer. She hopes she never will.
Seeing Red
Even though they're not living on Earth any more, Halden's family are still human—still the same people they ever were. Unfortunately for him.

The world might have suddenly become a strange and confusing place for everyone else, but Louisa's used to it. She knows what to do.

You Don't Want What I Get
