Sylvie and Carl have been friends since they were tiny children. They’ve always played together, eaten with each other’s families, called each other boyfriend and girlfriend and deep down, Sylvie has always believed that they’d end up married to each other. They even have a magical fantasy world that belongs to them alone — and the glass hut where it’s all created, at the bottom of Carl’s garden.But as they become teenagers, things are starting to change. They each have different friends. Sylvie would still rather spend all her time with Carl. But Carl has a new friend, Paul, who is taking all his attention. And he seems much less happy to be called Sylvie’s boyfriend. And in a game of spin the bottle, he avoids having to kiss her. Sylvie can tell his feelings have changed and that her plans for the future may be affected. But can she guess at the true reasons behind it all? A moving, compelling and delicately handled treatment of sexuality from the Children’s Laureate.

Mary siempre ha obedecido las normas de la Hermandad. Más allá del bosque que rodea la aldea no hay esperanza. Por eso una alambrada protege a los que, como ella, no están infectados por el mal que devuelve a los Condenados del abismo de la muerte. Puede verlos cada día con sus propios ojos: no se rinden, nunca se cansan, siempre están hambrientos. Y los habitantes de la aldea, más que supervivientes, son sus prisioneros. Una noche, Mary descubre la llegada de alguien del exterior: una chica no contagiada, algo impensable según las leyes que rigen su mundo. Sin embargo, la Hermandad ha ocultado su existencia. Poco a poco, Mary empezará a dudar de todo lo que le han enseñado. Quiere creer en una vida más allá del bosque, lejos de las reglas despiadadas de la Hermandad. Y si el sentimiento que cada día le une más a Travis, la persona que más le importa, fuera realmente amor... podría incluso arriesgarse a buscar ese océano del que su madre le hablaba cuando era niña.

Perhaps having a wannabe chef as a father and a mini-skirt clad mother who writes about you in the local paper, like Chelsea? What about Jemma's parents, who tell her she's too young to have a boyfriend - in front of her boyfriend? Or Sumitha's, who tell her boyfriend how suitable he is? And then there's Jon's mother, who seems to be getting on just a bit too well with a fellow interior design student
