When Matthew explores the 'spiral' in his grandmother's garden (a strange structure built by his late grandfather) he discovers an entrance into the magical world of 'the Shadows' where he meets his new Shadow friends, Yorrick and Alice, and begins his great adventure.

A recently blinded boy must learn to re-build his world through his remaining senses.

Mary is trapped in a toxic friendship. Miriam, with her chain-smoking and vicious tongue, is that toxic friend. Morning tea and vitriol. There is no smoke without fire.
