I would like to thank the following people:

Dr Hilary Johnson for her many edits and copyreads of this book. I have learnt much more this time.

Joleene Naylor for the great cover.

I’m bored. There’s nothing to do around here, I heard a female voice whine.

Then there came another voice, I know, Steph. Hang on. Mum’s car’s outside. I fancy a ride.

Go on, Cass. You can do it. Take it. Go on.

I stopped walking along the blue expanse, which seemed to be like a huge sky. The next moment, one of my feet slipped and I was falling down through a white, fluffy area. Whoa. Where was I going?

I landed with a thud on a hard floor.

I heaved myself up and looked around.

Where was I?

Then I heard that same voice, Steph’s. I dare you to take it.

The word ‘dare’ made my stomach lurch and I spun round, looking for the person who’d spoken. She sounded teenage, the same as me. I hadn’t seen anyone else my age all the time I’d been here. Only younger or older children. Then a boy, probably about eight, glided past me, bawling his eyes out.

I watched him turn round and come towards me. I was the only one taking notice of him. Maybe all the other children here knew him. As he came closer to me, I saw how big
