Ruby Yarrow is a 14 year old who lives in a busy, loving, chaotic family with her mum, stepdad, brother and two little stepbrothers. Ruby feels a bit like a doormat - she has to help out in the family a lot while her brother doesn't. He wins lots of prizes at school and she has a learning difficulty and needs a reader/writer to help her in exams. But she's bright, vibrant and a really neat character. To add to this, her surname Yarrow is at the end of the alphabet and when the roll gets called out she's always at the end and she hates it. She feels she's always at the end of the line. Not that she's a misery bag at all. She has great friends and loves clothes, fashion magazines and sewing and she's got a real knack for it. She's very keen to go on the school trip to Brazil and so gets a job to earn the money to go - works in a supermarket for ...

Finalist in the Young Adult category of the New Zealand Post Children's Book Awards 2010.
This book, the first in a stunning new trilogy, is set on a fictional Pacific island, approximately three generations after an apocalyptic event (a solar flare) in 2012 threw the world into complete chaos.
At that time, a large cruise ship 'Star of the Sea' had just foundered at the entrance to the main lagoon. This cruise ship, and her accompanying crew, forms a temporary sanctuary for the island's inhabitants. Over the intervening years, the descendants of the original ship's captain and officers manipulate Christian texts to implant themselves as 'gods'. With greater resources and reserves than the islanders, this white elite re-builds a society that is predominantly designed to meet its own needs - especially one specialised 'need'…the need for blood.
A leukaemia-related disease (attributed to the radiation from the solar flare) has ...

A thrilling action novel set in the not-too-distant future in which a brilliant young computer hacker fights to prevent the human race from being erased.
It would take a very special person to crack the computer systems of the White House. An expert. A genius. A devil. All of the above, some would say. Someone like Sam Wilson, brilliant teenage computer hacker. But Sam's obsession is about to lead him into a dangerous world. A world of espionage and intrigue; of cybercrime and imminent war. A world where logging on to your computer could mean the difference between life and death.

Ish is introduced to Lutha's Headland; a cruel and primitive society driven by fear and superstition. He quickly distrusts a quality in Lutha and her beautiful lieutenant

Nicky, who has the ability to travel through the power of the mind, is on the run. She and the four other teenagers who share her 'freakish' gifts are trying to stay free of the Project: an anonymous group that has controlled their lives, using the teens as messengers, spies, and search and rescue personnel for a number of unexplained missions. How do these young people, forced apart from their families, and effectively turned into slaves (albeit pampered ones), react to their hard won independence? They're alone in Los Angeles, not only trying to find cash, food and shelter, but also to care for Jake, who was shot in the dramatic escape at the end of Thieves. The relationships between all five young people are put under terrible strain, and soon, the mysterious Guardian - the head of the Project - manages to trace their whereabouts. How, given the young people have discarded the Project's tracking devices? Who is he really, and why ...

Nicky is asked to read some of her work aloud in class. She dreads it – and, just as she starts – she finds herself elsewhere. Transported. For Nicky is one of a select few people who can will themselves away not just in mind, but in body. She has the gift of teleportation. It’s a rare, genetic ability, and a sinister, anonymous group called the Project want to use her ‘gift’ for their own ends.
Nicky finds herself whisked off to a nameless desert site. Here, she and four other teenagers, who are also ‘travellers’, are educated and trained for search and rescue missions.
As these missions grow more frightening, more perilous, the five start to form closer friendships. Yet it is only when they realise that the Project wants them to breed more travellers like themselves, that Nicky, Paul and the others, find the impetus to form an escape plan.

The thrilling, suspenseful conclusion to the

trilogy.
First they were simply five kids who could ‘travel’ invisibly by the power of thought, and reappear elsewhere. They were turned into Thieves by the Project – benign or sinister? – which took them from their families and
trained them in stealing to order. Then there was the escape and the five were on the run in Los Angeles, shadowed by the Project, but one step ahead – or were they? Nicky and Paul returned to the Project’s desert hideout for one last revenge assignment, but they had underestimated their ‘protectors’.
Now the five teens are back under surveillance, recuperating, being prepared again for missions. Nicky discovers her own new capacities for travel, and deepens her bond with Jake. She broods though, about escape, as she gains personal strength training daily in the local town’s pool.
Meanwhile thr Project is caught up in sinister affairs. When a ...

When Lucius is 10 years old his father returns home one evening as a vampire and destroys his entire family. By luck Lucius is spared.
Fifteen years later Lucius has joined the elite group of vampire hunters that saved his life that night. Now it's his turn to lead the hunt - this time on the trail of a master vampire who has survived hundreds of years and is intent on turning the world into a vampire race. Through Paris and the wilds of Europe Lucius tracks his quarry, eventually running him to ground in the plague-infested streets of London. But this is no ordinary vampire and the skills Lucius has used in the past have no effect on this extraordinary foe.
Will Lucius be able to survive or will he too enter the realm of the undead?
