Angel Blood, by John Singleton
X-Ray, Chicken Angel, Lights Out and Cough Cough are the only four children left in the institution known as the Bin. X-Ray and his friends may have terrible things wrong with them, but they're no fools. They know that things have been getting worse since Dr Dearly was put in charge. They have to get out - but how? Along comes hard-case Nail in his dodgy van with his posh bolshie girlfriend, Natalie. All Nail wants is to make some quick money and get off with Nats, but suddenly he has four weirdo stowaways. The children want to find the m
ythical Sky Boat to sail away from all their
problems, but does it exist and will they survive until they reach it?
The Foreshadowing, by Marcus Sedgwick
It is 1915. Seventeen-year-old Sasha Fox lives a privileged life, but her brothers, Edgar and Tom, cannot avoid the war, and Sasha has a terrible gift. She can see the future, and worst of all what will happen to Edgar and Tom. Like the prophetess Cassandra, who witnessed a different war on the plains of Troy, Sasha is trapped by her tragic power - for who wants to see the end of their own story...?
