The Lost Timeline

The clock stopped. The world changed. Only five remember. When Mason Carter sees the classroom clock freeze at 10:17, he thinks it’s just one strange moment — until his history teacher changes, a classmate vanishes from the records, and a class photo rewrites itself. He and his friends are the only ones who remember the world the way it was. Beneath the old clock tower they find the Chronos Line: a hidden train that travels through time — and Project Chronos, a secret programme rewriting history at a terrible cost. Following the lost timeline through 2026, 1989, and the dangerous heart of the project, they face an impossible choice — because saving one timeline may erase another.

Site K

The Island That Wasn’t on the Map

A hidden island. A missing mother. A secret that was never meant to surface. When sixteen-year-old Eli Byrne wakes on black sand after a ferry crash, there’s no phone signal, no rescue boat, and no island on the map — just black cliffs, locked gates, and a red light blinking above a place nobody was ever meant to find. With Noa Vale and the rusted key around her neck, he uncovers Site K: a hidden prison island built to erase people, bury records, and silence witnesses. But Mara Voss is watching — and once they find proof of the cover-up, leaving the island alive becomes the hardest part.

Snowy’s Christmas Wish

Snowy cannot hear the world — but she can feel the magic. High above Melbourne lives a little white cat with bright blue eyes who adores Christmas. When she sees a picture of Santa flying through the night, a worry begins to grow: how will she know when Santa comes, if she can never hear his sleigh bells? A warm, gentle Australian Christmas story about kindness, hope, and knowing that you belong — with hidden treasures to find on every page.

The City Under Melbourne

Danny Byrne’s Mystery Trails

Melbourne has secrets. Secrets hidden in plain sight. When a curious teen discovers a hidden clue beneath Flinders Street Station, it sets him and his friends on a dangerous path. Old tunnels. Forgotten stories. A mystery that goes deeper than they ever imagined. As the city hides the truth, they must decide who to trust — and how far they’ll go to uncover it. Some doors should stay closed, but they’re about to find one that doesn’t.
