"Wildly original adventure from an author whose imagination seems boundless"
Sam Gayton is known for hugely inventive stories starring unusual heroes in unusual situations, but secured always in family and familiar emotions. World Weavers might be his most mind-expanding adventure yet, the story of a boy and two sisters in a world where everything can be stolen – your shadow, your hand, even the love your mother feels for you. It’s unsettling and gets progressively darker as the three fall under the power of a villain so strong, and so lacking in humanity, that he appears all-powerful.
The story opens in a dusty desert and often feels like a Western, quick draws and gun fights included, and ruthless though the baddie is, we know that what it takes to destroy him is courage, loyalty and words, because as Sam Gayton knows, words are where the real power lies.
Original, thought-provoking and with unforgettable characters, this other-world story is well worth exploring.

'There are other ways to be mighty, you know. Not just world weaving. We got all sorts of other powers, ones that are just as magic. Slower, surer ways to change what's around us. I'm talking about kindness. I'm talking about love. That's what Ma was strong in.'
Hush Quiet is a girl with an infinite baseball cap and certain views on love and kindness. Her sister, Matilda, carries around a shotgun full of bees, and doesn't need much excuse to fire it. Hush and Matilda have been hiding out in a pocket world, ever since the war started.
Ever since Dustbowl fell.
Ever since what happened to Ma.
But when a boy with no memory crosses into their reality, the sisters must confront their past, each other, and the intoxicating power that has torn their lives apart . . . the power known as worldweaving.
