Meant for the 11+ age group, this title presents an adventure story, as well as an allegory about the transition from childhood innocence to adolescent awareness of the realities of death, power, and allegiance.

Trade Review
“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
