Attica

A timeless adventure story in a land full of wonder and riches from the acclaimed and much-loved storyteller.

A novel with echoes of timeless classics such as 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe', 'The Borrowers' and 'Alice in Wonderland', Garry Kilworth's 'Attica' reveals a twilight world of forgotten wonders, and extraordinary adventures -- all happening just above our heads.

Jon Jordy, Alex and Chloe as they cross the portal from our world to a strange and wonderful other place, accessible for just a moment in time through the trap-door of the attic in their family home. From hat-stand forests, to towering hills of old musical instruments, deserts of old books and a great water-tank lake, the vast continent they stumble upon is one of limitless surprises -- and that's before they meet the inhabitants: strange clans of small and lumpen people who live in homes constructed from all manner of found things and drive vehicles powered by old sewing-machine parts.

It is against this remarkable backdrop that the three children will embark on a spell-binding adventure to recover a prized possession, save a life, and -- somehow -- find a way back home.
