'The journey home for Stumbler, Cat, Tiz and Snot is full of danger. The riddles of old no longer provide the hearth-comfort they once knew. Now they must make their own riddles, find the strength to challenge the village leaders and help Cat find her name. What they need lies in a riddle - “People will act when they have me, fail when they have me not, and are always in search of me. I am not in the asking, though many still want to know. And without me, riddles have no purpose. What am I?”' (Publisher's blurb)

'Lost in a wilderness, their lives threatened, Stumbler, Cat, Tiz and Snot must outwit the Guardians. Can they protect their new found friends, find their names and tame the roil-broth of water charging down the dry river bed? It’s like the riddle says - The more you take the more you leave behind so what am I?' (Publisher's blurb)

'Cast into the night, four young travellers must venture from the comfort of their villages to find their names. Each has a staff, a challenge and a history of riddling to help them on their way. But the press-heavy sounds of animals approaching, the limb-sky of the forest and the fear of the unknown are all about. How will they survive? The answer may just be in the riddle – “What always runs but never walks, often murmurs, never talks, has a bed but never sleeps, has a mouth but never eats?”' (Publisher's blurb)

'Her half-brother Coaby represents the hope and motivation Aeisha struggles to find to face each new day. The trouble is her mother has denied permission for them to see each other. The repercussion of her choice to live with her father was having unexpected consequences. Added to that, her recent diagnosis was complicating everything.

'Based on a true story, this is an account of a young girl struggling not just with family dysfunction but the all too prevalent challenge of adolescent depression.' (Publication summary)
