The Territory Trilogy (12+)
Winner of the Trinity Schools Book Award and the Gateshead Teen Book Award
The Year is 2059. Noa Blake is just another 15 year old with exams looming. Except in the Territory, normal isn’t normal. The richest children have a node on the back of their necks and can download information, bypassing the need to study.
In a flooded world of dwindling resources, Noa and the other ‘Norms’ have their work cut out even to compete. And competing is everything – because anyone who fails the exams will be shipped off to the Wetlands, which means a life of misery, if not certain death.
But how to focus when your heart is being torn in two directions at once?
The Territory won the Trinity Schools Book Award and the Gateshead Teen Book Award.
