Publisher's summary
A middle-grade story of hope, family, identity and a heartwarming inter-generational friendship from multi-award-winning author Maryam Master.
Ziba (Zee) is a loner. She likes to read Oscar Wilde and watch documentaries all day which, according to her parents, is 'not normal for 13 year olds'. They decide to send her on a five-day holiday camp 'to get to know people'.
But Ziba would rather take a bath in Tabasco sauce than attend a camp called Youth Fusion. Especially when Madam Augustus, the Grand Poobah, declares a bonding game called 'Murder in the Dark'. With influencer Tiffanee and twins Jonah and Moses, Ziba is soon deep in the mystery of a missing kid and coming face-to-face with the legendary Old Bat Viv.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,597
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 17,857
Eve looks like an ordinary 12-year-old girl, but there’s nothing ordinary about her. She has no last name. No parents or guardian. She’s on the run from a dangerous and secretive organization that will stop at nothing to track her down. And most astonishing of all: she’s a robot, a product of Eden Laboratories. When Eve discovers the truth, she realizes everything she thought she knew about herself is a lie. Eve manages to escape, fleeing the lab, the only home she’s ever known.
