Read an exclusive extract from The Consequence Girl – a thrilling, unputdownable adventure from Alastair Chisholm

We’re very excited to be publishing The Consequence Girl next month, a brilliantly-imagined, ambitious and high-concept adventure from one of the most exciting new voices in children’s fantasy and science fiction, Alastair Chisholm.

And today we’re delighted to be sharing a preview of the book – you can read the first few chapters below!

The world of Colony is in ruins. No one knows what caused society to begin tearing itself apart – but the secret may lie with Cora, a girl living on the mountainside far away from others. Cora possesses an extraordinary gift: the power to see back in time, from an event back to its causes. Even more incredibly, sometimes she can change events. But the present is looking for Cora, and she is forced on the run – and must decide who she is, what she can do … and how to fix the future.
