Alex Bell
Expect a vivid underwater fantasy adventure led by a determined engineer, with a submarine expedition, imaginative creatures, perilous conditions and a group learning to trust one another.
Shane Hegarty
This is a fast-moving, illustrated adventure about a vulnerable robot trying to recover its past and return to Beth. Friendship, fear, memory and the treatment of discarded things sit alongside danger and humour.
SF Said
Expect a large-scale space adventure with mythic elements, unusual worlds and questions about identity. The illustrations are an important part of the experience, adding atmosphere rather than simply depicting events.
Norman Hunter
Expect inventive comic mishaps, misunderstandings and an eccentric central character rather than a serious science story. The humour often comes from failed inventions and Branestawm’s difficulty with everyday social situations.
Christopher Edge
Expect a playful space adventure centred on a father and son, with absurd alien details, school embarrassment and moments of danger. Its emotional centre is the difficulty of recognising a parent’s love beneath embarrassing behaviour.
Amy Bond
This is a fantasy adventure about a young witch who loves robots, enters the City seeking robotics education, and confronts a secret threatening the balance between magic and technology.
Frank Cottrell Boyce
This is a comic robot adventure about Alfie and Eric’s friendship, with a serious emotional thread beneath the action.
