Summary

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 . . .? 
Ross Welford, the Sunday Times bestselling author, takes us on a thrilling journey in his latest sci-fi novel. The story, filled with action and adventure, explores the themes of friendship, family, and social responsibility, as the children strive to prove the existence of the Sideways World, a utopia free from conflict and pollution. 
For fans of Christopher Edge (The Infinite Lives of Maisie Day), Katherine Rundell (The Explorer), Ben Miller (Diary of a Big Bad Wolf), Louie Stowell (Loki), and Mike Lowery (Out in the Wild!).
