‘A writer of genuine originality’ – The Guardian

The maze is a dangerous place.

The maze is ever-changing. The maze has never been solved. Meet twelve-year-old Drew Blake, who faces the ultimate challenge.

At the heart of a heavily guarded maze lies a secret – known only as the Avenir – which has the power to unlock the future. Many have tried to steal the Avenir, but no one has ever succeeded. Drew is the latest to try, just like his sister Evie did before him.

But Drew has his own secret: he doesn’t care about the Avenir; he must find his sister.  Facing dead ends, traps and double-crosses Drew realizes that the maze holds secrets more dangerous than he ever imagined.

Can he find the Avenir and save Evie before it’s too late?  His future depends on it.
