Argonauta
Lily is sitting on a beach, looking for a shell. Her world is small, isolated and safe; that's how she likes it. She doesn't 'do' other people, and she's not about to start, or so she thinks. Argonauta is about what happens when walls begin to crack. Through Lily's eyes we confront the fears and hopes of building a new world. It may be less than perfect, but then most real things are. While the themes of Argonauta are especially pertinent to young people, its insight, poignancy and humour will resonate with all.
