Through the Gap

Tina Clough

Two ordinary friends make an accidental discovery which leads them to a world unlike any other.

Barnaby (10) and Miranda (13) never expected to unlock a power capable of bending space and time, something neither of them wanted or ever thought of. But Miranda has a strange condition which means she can't be outside in sunlight, so she spends time in the garden when there is moon light, which makes her better. When Barnaby spots her from his bedroom window one night she is outside "moon bathing" and on an impulse he climbs out of the window and walks down the silent street to the house next-door-but-one. Barnaby and Miranda become fast friends and spend time together when the moon light is strong, and Barnaby is proud of the fact that he is the only person who can see that Miranda's skin shimmers in the dark.

One night something unexpected and scary happens when Miranda is acting out a story and Barnaby grips both her wrists - suddenly they find themselves pulled through a space-warp to land in an alien landscape on Rond, a small, flat planet, where giant killer insects roam and falling off the edge and floating away into space is a real risk.

Their cosmic adventure tests not only their friendship but also their newfound abilities to control where they end up, sometimes in the kind of place that nightmares are made of, and getting back is sometimes fraught with danger.

Join Barnaby and Miranda for an unforgettable cosmic adventure and explore the wonders and perils of Rond in this gripping tale of sci-fi adventure and the power of friendship.
