An action-packed adventure about friendship, sacrifice and risking everything for Everest.
Peak Marcello knows he's in trouble when a SWAT team plucks him from a late-night climb up a New York City skyscraper. Given the option of Juvenile Detention or a trip to Thailand to live with his long-lost father who runs a climbing company, the choice seems obvious.
But Peak's father has his own motive for 'rescuing' his son: he wants Peak to be the youngest person to climb Mount Everest. It's an opportunity Peak can't refuse, but it could cost him his life.

Lonesome Howl is a taut and tender thriller: a suspenseful adventure, a drama of two different families, a love story and a journey of self-discovery.

When Jake and Lucy hike to Sheldon Mountain in search of the wolf, Jake is out to prove his dad right or wrong; Lucy is escaping her father's cruelty. Both are tested - physically, emotionally, spiritually - but what they find on that dangerous, dark mountain surprises them both.

The Good hawk by Joseph Elliott
Agatha is a good Hawk. She patrols the sea wall with pride, despite those in her clan who question her right to be there, on account of the condition she was born with. But when disaster strikes and her clan is brutally swept away in the longboats of an invading deamhain horde, she must leave the island and team up with the only other survivors, Jaime, a skinny teenage Angler who is afraid of the sea, and Lileas, a young girl from a rival tribe, to find a way of rescuing the only family they have ever known. This sweeping story carries the young people from the Isle of Skye across the haunted Scotian mainland, where ravenous wildwolves, an abandoned queen and a horde of murderous shadows lie waiting for them. Thrilling and dark, yet rich with humour and compassion, this novel marks the debut of a wonderful new voice in fantasy and welcomes a new kind of protagonist.
