Queen of the Night

Product Description

The dark is dangerous. So is the past. So are your dreams.

For six months Nia - Wildgirl - has tried to forget Wolfboy, the mysterious boy she spent one night with in Shyness - the boy who said he'd call but didn't.

Then Wolfboy calls. The things he tells her pull her back to the suburb of Shyness, where the sun doesn't rise and dreams and reality are difficult to separate. There, Doctor Gregory has seemingly disappeared, the Darkness is changing and Wolfboy's friend is in trouble. And Nia decides to become Wildgirl once more.

The sequel to the 2009 Text Prize-winning This Is Shyness is about the difficulty of recreating the past - about how the Darkness no longer sets Wolfboy and Wildgirl free.
