Synopsis Moonkind by : Sarah Prineas

Fer must save her realm from the Forsworn, a group destroying the land with their broken oaths, in Moonkind, the conclusion to award-winning author Sarah Prineas's fantasy-adventure series, which includes Winterling, Summerkin, and the short story Thrice Sworn. As the Lady of the Summerlands, Fer has vowed to serve her people without the deception of the glamorie, and she had trusted other leaders to fulfill the same promise. But not all of the Lords and Ladies want to keep their oaths, and they've unleashed the consequences of their betrayal onto the lands. Only Fer, with the help of the puck-boy Rook, can fight the stillness invading the realm. But can she trust Rook? And can she protect her people before it's too late? Sarah Prineas combines a brave and resourceful young heroine with a richly detailed fantasy world and beloved folklore into a story that will delight middle-grade fans of Diana Wynne Jones, Ingrid Law, and Rick Riordan.

Synopsis Science Fiction as Legal Imaginary by : Alex Green

This book examines how science fiction informs the legal imagination of technological futures. Science fiction, the contributors to this book argue, is a storehouse of images, tropes, concepts and memes that inform the legal imagination of the future, and in doing so generate impetus for change. Specifically, the contributors examine how science fictions imagine human life in space, in the digital and as formed and negotiated by corporations. They then connect this imaginary to how law should be understood in the present and changed for the future. Across the chapters, there is an urgent sense of the need for law – as it is has been, and as it might become – to order and safeguard the future for a multiplicity of vulnerable entities. This book will appeal to scholars and students with interests in law and technology, legal theory, cultural legal studies and law and the humanities.

Synopsis Mooney and Spacee and the Tree o' Wishes by : Glenn Morley

What would you do if you were lost in an alien land full of danger, lies, stupidity, duplicity, insanely clever traps, ravenous apex-predators and, to top it all off, the legendarily sarcastic child-eating, mushroom-scoffing, poetry-reciting ogre called Borborygm (the scariest monster ever invented in literature) ... and then you find everything in this land wants to eat you too? You’d try and find a way to get back home, right? This is exactly the situation that Mooney and Spacee have found themselves in. There’s just one hope: Steal the Tree o’ Wishes. It’s all very simple really. Except Borborygm has it. ‘I devoured War and Peace but this is so much better. Shorter too.’ Jillian (15 years) ‘...a heart-rending, mind-cracking, sanity-pounding tour de force.’ Leanne (11 years) ‘I loved the swearing.’ Darlene (9 years) ‘Don’t buy this book.’ Darlene’s mum
