Our notes:

“A powerful dystopian novel that will change your life forever!” - Rose

Shifa and her brother, Themba, live in Kairos City with their father, Nabil. The few live in luxury, whilst the millions like them crowd together in compounds, surviving on meagre rations and governed by Freedom Fields - the organisation that looks after you, as long as you opt in. The bees have long disappeared; instead children must labour on farms, pollinating crops by hand so that the nation can eat. The farm Shifa and Themba are sent to is hard and cruel. Themba won't survive there and Shifa comes up with a plan to break them out. But they have no idea where they are - their only guide is a map drawn from the ramblings of a stranger. The journey ahead is fraught with danger, but Shifa is strong and knows to listen to her instincts - to let love guide them home. The freedom of a nation depends on it…

What we do

We sell new children’s’ fiction and fact books online, at our shop and on Grace. Grace provides a mobile-venue in our villages, for shared-reading, tailored to all age groups. for the very young, to independent reader hubs. Grace is also a venue for events such as author signings.and drama groups.

 Sponsorship

With investment from local businesses, we can provide a greater range of free literary-based activities for our children, such as author events, actor and actress visits, and reading groups. It would enable full inclusivity of the child community, irrespective of parent financial circumstances. It would also enable us to buy book stock, that can be shared and rotated between the children.

Books

Grace and our shop hold a wide array of exciting fiction that will grow a greater depth in your child’s imagination, flair in their self-expression and fluency of vocabulary through their love of reading. We will soon have a subscription service where for a monthly fee books can be delivered to your home.
