The Lab

Meet a 16-year-old superhuman: Agent Six of Hearts.

He is the strongest, fastest, most invincible agent in the Deck, a team of special agents fighting to uphold values in a city dominated by the company ChaoSonic.

But Six has a deadly secret. He is the product of an illegal genetic experiment by the Lab – a ruthless division of ChaoSonic.

When the Deck begins investigating the Lab, Six walks a tightrope between his two worlds, trying to keep his origins hidden from those around him. But then he meets Kyntak, a boy with the same designer DNA.

As Six's life spirals out of control, he must face his most dangerous mission yet.

Remote Control

Agent Six of Hearts – a 16-year-old superhuman – is on a mission.

Kyntak has been kidnapped.
A sinister new power is rising in the City.
Six is suspected of being a double agent.
The Deck has been put into lockdown by the Queen of Spades.

Who can Six trust? The mysterious girl who appears as his guardian angel? Or Retuni Lerke – the ‘father' he has never known?

As the clock ticks steadily against Kyntak's life, Six of Hearts is on the run: from his past, his fellow agents at the Deck, even his own DNA…

Surf School

Fifteen year old Tilly, Fran, Marlee and Pink are surfer girls – friends since their first surf lesson at the Diamond Beach Surf School run by Tilly's dad, Phil.

Phil has big plans for the Surf School this year – until he is seriously injured in a hit-and-run accident. Tilly is determined to keep her dad's business running and her friends want to help. But Marlee is training for the club surfing competition – determined to win a new board and beat the moody Kyle; Pink is hopelessly in love with a stranger in town; and Fran is stuck in the middle of her warring friends.

As the girls negotiate their friendships, disappointments and dreams, the summer is set to explode!

Blue Water High

It's tough being the youngest member of the Solar Blue surfing academy.

It's tough being friends and competitors at the same time.

But for 15-year-old Fly Watson, the adventure of her life has only just begun.

Blue Water High: the novelis based on the hugely popular children's television series Blue Water High, which won ‘most outstanding children's program' at the 2006 Logie Awards. It's the engrossing story of twelve months at the academy, seen through the eyes of Fly. Surfing is all Fly has ever wanted to do but, suddenly, there's a whole lot more that seems to be getting in the way – such as Heath, and some very buried demons that Fly is determined not to reveal.

And then there's the one big question that haunts them all: who will qualify to surf the pro-circuit and win the one-year sponsorship contract?
