A teenage boy is transported to a strange, submerged planet where he can breathe underwater. Will he ever return to his world? And is his abduction as random as it first appears?
Science fiction and fantasy collide in this exciting cross-dimensional adventure with elements of all your favourites: the wonder of Philip Pullman's Northern Lights, the quirkiness of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and an underwater universe that lands you straight into one of Sir David Attenborough's Blue Planet episodes, all wrapped up with a light-touch suitable for a wide range of readers.
When thirteen-year-old Luke finds himself in an underwater world like no other, he can only hazard a guess as to why. Garth, a member of a species from another dimension, has toyed with an extremely powerful computer and mistakenly transported Luke to a place where the rules of Earth mean nothing. Now they must both work together in order to survive. Dangerous quests, mind-twisting concepts and villainous enemies await them...
Is Luke's wrongful abduction completely Garth's fault or is there more at play? Will Luke ever return home? And can they uncover the mysteries of a world so beautiful yet so bizarre?
Praise for Between Wind and Waves:
The concept is extremely unusual but is quite easy to grasp when it's all explained. It was very well written and I loved reading it; I couldn't put it down. It is one of those books that makes you want more.
Loved it. The humour absolutely makes it.
I loved the world, it's so pretty and such a cool environment to be in when reading this book. I'm also really interested to see what happens to Luke and if Garth will manage to help him save the underwater world.
I definitely feel like the book is appropriate for audiences of all ages - it's just a really cool story.
