Thursday's Child

The world does not end with a bang. It just starts to fade. Planet Earth has been ravaged by years of climate change, and a mysterious AI catastrophe haunts recent memory. Much of the Earth’s population have abandoned it entirely, taking off in hulking Evac ships hoping to discover a new home in the far reaches of space. But for Arlo, the stars couldn’t be further away as he works year after year on his Pa’s farm. Until one night, the radio in Arlo’s bedroom picks up an urgent signal that changes the trajectory of his life forever. Thursday’s Child tells the story of a boy running away from home, fighting for what he believes, and forging friendships as he launches into his adventure among the stars.From the mind of David Hubbard, filmmaker and author of Helping Maisie, comes a new science fiction series for the next generation of readers. Climate change, mental health, isolation, AI and a conflicted relationship with the past all inform the twists and turns of Arlo's story as he takes his first steps into space.
