Six children leave home and are drawn to Coldharbour - an eerie wasteland of wind, rats, gulls and rubbish. Each of them has a unique gift, but they must learn to use their skills fast. Drawing ever closer in a maelstrom of fury is the Roar, something vast and dreadful that wants to destroy them. With the appearance of Cliff McNish's debut fantasy novel The Doomspell, The Bookseller immediately hailed him as 'a great new voice in writing for children.' His ghost story Breathe was voted in May 2013 by The Schools Network of British Librarians as one of the top adult and children's novels of all time.
