Timefire
In the scorching summer of 2033, Gilbert Black is accused of being a firebug, just like his mother was thirteen years before. That night a fire starts on his family’s farm. A fire with a tunnel in the centre of it. And that’s when things start to get really weird.
Pulled repeatedly back and forth through time, Gil finds himself at big bushfires from the last two centuries. He searches across the years, determined to unlock the secret to his family’s legacy.
Gil can’t change the past but can he learn from it in time to return home and save his family from the biggest inferno ever known?

Xenoflight
Apart from the company of her flying pet ferret Fernando and her auntie Carla, 13-year-old Nessa Santiago is alone. Her mother died in a circus accident in Spain and she never knew her father. But then the day finally comes for Nessa to meet him and everything goes wrong. Her auntie unexpectedly leaves their home of Wye River in a helicopter. A menacing Cryptid Hunter, who captures unusual creatures like Fernando, shows up instead. So in order to keep Fernando safe, Nessa must run.
With help from Kep, a boy from her school, Nessa embarks on a wild journey to her father’s home and then the Hawkesbury River. They are pursued by the anti-cryptid organisation HARNESS and a mysterious giant bird in the sky. Along the way, Nessa, Fernando and Kep meet weird and wonderful creatures, but with each new encounter, more questions arise. What are the visions Nessa gets every time she closes her eyes? And what are they trying to tell her about her parents?
Cryptosight
Rafferty Kaminski is a 13-year-old who believes in facts. Not like his cryptozoologist father, who searches for creatures not proven to exist.
When their father disappears in the Flinders Ranges, strange things start happening to Raff and his younger sister Zara. They learn their father belongs to a secret organisation and they are being pursued by bunyip hunters.
Raff is drawn into the weird world of Cryptozoology as he and Zara follow ‘sightings’ of creatures around country Victoria. Will they find their father? And what is the ancient voice that only Raff can hear, as they approach the Wombat State Forest?
