Shortlisted for a national award, and now a published book on Amazon! This Wattpad version is now a free preview of a book described as "Mad Max crossed with the Magic School Bus" ... read on to find out more!*****If it hadn't been for the man in white body paint appearing out of the darkness, my Bus would now be a broken steel carcass in a smoking hole.

Though the Library could never have predicted a plot this savage, or this well-organised.But first, with only a psychotic ex-slave and a digital ghost to help, I have to survive the trip...*****The Knowledge Keeper is perfect for fans of speculative fiction who are looking for a fresh, more optimistic and less dystopian take on a post World War Three and climate change action thriller.

Contains medium violence, mild language and drug references. Suitable for ages 13 and older.…
