In the midst of economic and social collapse, job loss has forced Stan and Charmaine to live in their car. The Positron Project seems to be the answer. Everyone gets a comfortable house to live in - for six months of the year. On alternating months, residents must serve as inmates in the prison system. When their month of service in the prison is completed, they can return to their 'civilian' homes. At first it doesn't seem too bad, but with each passing day, Positron looks less like a prayer answered and more like a chilling prophecy fulfilled.

Levy, Michael / Mendlesohn, Farah
Children's Fantasy Literature: An Introduction
A scholarly look at the development of fantastic fiction, both written specifically for children and/or appropriated by them - from the 16th century to the 21st, across the English-speaking world. Also considers changing views on both the nature of the child and the appropriateness of fantasy for the child reader, the role of children's fantasy literature in helping to develop the imagination, and its complex interactions with issues of class, politics and gender. The text analyses hundreds of works of fiction, placing each in its appropriate context within the tradition of fantasy literature.
