About this listen
A fast-moving sci-fi fantasy novel for children inspired by the environmental chaos tightening its grip on our planet.
It’s about a young girl who discovers she’s part of an ongoing appraisal of the human race. This has been going on for generations of one family’s children. Although the story is of the science fiction genre, it focuses on the environmental issues of Earth and how other civilizations far across our galaxy have resolved their own ecological issues and how their societies now live in harmony and balance with nature.
It touches on both political and environmental issues and explores the possibilities of how a civilization could continue to develop while achieving environmental balance.
Rosie, an 11-year-old girl, takes a late summer walk in the woods with her grandmother's Labrador, Hattie. She meets an alien troll called Thumblerock. He can talk to animals, and he wants her to go with him to his own planet for an extremely specific reason. This sets the scene for an intergalactic journey across the stars, which for Rosie and her grandmother's Labrador can be upsetting, delightful, and full of love.
Can Rosie from Earth change the course of our planet’s destiny, or will the current environmental chaos end our dreams of joining the galactic community?

Xanthe has always had an affinity with some of the antiques she finds. When she touches them, she can sense something of the past they come from and the stories they hold. When she has an intense connection to a beautiful silver chatelaine, she has to know more. It is while she’s examining the chatelaine that she’s transported back to the 17th century, where it has its origins. She discovers there is an injustice in its history. The spirit that inhabits her new home confronts her and charges her with saving her daughter’s life, threatening to take Flora’s if she fails.

Abby Field loves every inch of Meadowsweet Nature Reserve on the idyllic Suffolk coast, where she lives and works. Especially Swallowtail House, the rambling but empty country house that seems to look out at her each time she passes its shut-up windows. When a TV wildlife programme choses a rival location for their new series, Meadowsweet is under threat - unless Abby can whip up a plan to keep the visitors flocking. But she finds herself distracted by the arrival of a brooding - and annoyingly handsome - new neighbour...bad-boy novelist Jack Westcoat.

An amulet that, if ever was reunited with the book, would give the wearer power to control the weather, too.
