About this listen

The moving, funny, thrilling and adventured-filled new novel for readers of 10 and up from bestselling author Ross Welford.

When twelve-year-olds Willa and Manny hear of a mysterious animal prowling their town, they are determined to prove it is real. Following the creature into a cave one full moon, they are swept into an alternate, ideal, world – one where pollution and conflict have been conquered decades ago and even their own families seem happier.

But when they return, no one believes them. So, with a global war looming in their own world, their quest for proof of the Sideways World becomes ever-more urgent, in a nail-biting race against time.

And Willa and Manny will have to make an impossible decision: because once you find a perfect world, can you ever leave it behind . . .?

At first I wasn’t really following along with the story but after that perfection
I thought it was impossible to make a perfect book. There always has to be one thing wrong with the book. But this book changes all of that.
I absolutely love it!
Ross welford is my favourite author now closely followed by Katherine Rundell and j.k Rowling who I would also recommend. I have read all of his books park one which is now on my wish list and I am hoping to get in a few days.
Finally I just want to say Ross Welford you are flipping groovy

Awesome

I cannot recommend this book enough! The storyline is enchanting, the writing perfect, and the narrator's lovely voice (with my favourite accent!) has, for me, been absolutely spot-on - the cherry on the cake of this whole wonderful reading experience. The writing is clever and full of charm - with its great message about world peace and hope for humanity's future - and I love how Ross Welford creates the different universes in such detail that you can imagine everything and picture it all so clearly in your mind's eye. There is always a great warmth and depth of feeling to his stories and this one, for me, has done it again, in spades. A piece of writing that has evoked many varied emotions in me and one that I will never forget. What a talent. Thank you for writing it.

Amazing All-round!
