Themes: Fantasy/ Sci-fi/Novellas

In four different novellas, all with a different take on the word Conclave, four writers from Tauranga have created a group of stories that are all remarkable for their believability (the test of any good fantasy or sci-fi story) and for their readability. A landlocked mermaid, on-line friendships to mysteries hidden in DNA, from a fleet of spaceships heading to a hopefully brave new world to Conclave Seven - a Universal Games event, everything has its roots in logic and yet the vibrant imagination of all four writers soars high above it all.

Year 9 up/ Age 13 up

****Google their names because they have all written other stories and books and between them have an impressive collection of awards. This includes a short listing for The Storylines Tom Fitzgibbon Award for 2014 and winning The Sir Julius Vogel Award for science fiction and fantasy writing (two times).
