Ravenous things

12-year-old Reggie's always getting him into trouble at school, while at home his mum struggles to get out of bed. That's why Reggie desperately needs his dad back - but he's dead. Enter the strange Conductor, who promises let Reggie see his dad one more time, if he climbs aboard his subway train. Desperate, Reggie takes him up on the offer, only to discover the train is filled with other children who have lost a loved one too. But when Reggie comes to the end of the line, he soon discovers all is not as it seems. This stunning debut re-envisions the tale of the Pied Piper to explore themes of grief loss.
