Somewhere beyond the rain, the wind and the stars, and as far from the Earth as it's possible to be, there was a town so old that no one can remember how or when it began. It was a town where everyone stayed exactly the same, a town where no one grew older, a town surrounded by a million miles of yellow corn, which was so strange that if you went in, you disappeared immediately. And perhaps Thistown would have always stayed the same if they hadn't found The Sleeping Man. He changed everything. Forever.
Amidst the turmoil, a group of young people battle to save the town from tyranny and oppression but when they are forced to flee - friendship and survival take on new meaning.

Industry Reviews

"Thistown is an intriguing fantasy parable. The writing is clear and simple; the book will find readers even a bit younger than the main characters and could give rise to some interesting discussions on the meaning behind the symbols in the story. The ending is a particularly enigmatic affair which should get your students questioning." Writing in Education "McKay brilliantly captures the pivotal moments in relationships... the writing often achieving a convincingly gritty poignancy." The Times
