Megan's Star

Allan Baillie
(Puffin Books)
978-0140340464, RRP £3.50, Paperback

Megan, a troubled adolescent living in a vividly depicted coastal metropolis, rescues Kel while he's on the run from vivisectors intent on probing the source of his psychokinetic ability. He reveals Megan's own powers to her, and together they embark on a celestial odyssey. I found this moving and exciting story put me back in touch with those aspects of SF which originally attracted me to the genre: the description of links between Earth and Universe, and the sheer fascination of seeing different worlds through the eyes of an imaginative writer.
