PETRI QUINN is counting down the days till she can get on GLAZE. But when a protest turns into a riot, Petri is blamed and banned - from the only social network worth being a part of. Her life is over before it's even started. Desperate to be a part of the hooked-up society, Petri finds an underground hacker group to set her up with a black-market chip. But it has a problem: it has no filter and no off switch. Petri can see everything happening on GLAZE, all the time. Including things she was never meant to see. As her life is plunged into danger, Petri is faced with a choice. Join GLAZE... or destroy it. "Kim Curran presents a chillingly realistic social media nightmare in this energetic sci-fi adventure." - James Dawson, author of Hollow Pike & Cruel Summer. "In Glaze, Petri is a strong heroine, desperate to be part of the hooked-up society, only to discover that it's not the paradise promised - quite the opposite, in fact. Glaze is reminiscent of authors like Scott Westerfeld, yet Curran has a voice all her own, and she's one of the strongest YA writers in science fiction today." - Laura Lam, author of Pantomime & Shadowplay. "Curran's writing is smart and sharp and full of big ideas. With GLAZE, she asks "What if?" - and she doesn't flinch as she shows us an answer..." Lou Morgan, author of Blood and Feather & Blood and Feathers: Rebellion.

The third book in the Shift series by Kim Curran 
 The country is at war. Beset by enemies within and without. And all because of the decisions changed by one boy, Scott Tyler. In this ravaged alternative reality, Scott hardly recognises himself. He's a war hero, a leader of a unit of Shifters and maybe the only one who can prevent the country's frail defences from crumbling. But all Scott wants to do is find a way back to the world he knew, without losing the girl he loves. With every Shift he makes, Scott edges closer towards oblivion. With no one to trust – not even himself – how much is he willing to risk to get home? 
Praise for the Shifter series “A hi-octane, timey-wimey thriller. It’ll blow your mind!” – James Dawson, author of Say Her Name "Curran has written a cracking story… Like some kind of teen-friendly Inception.” – The Eloquent Page. It’s like the best kind of video game: full of fun, mind-bendy ideas with high stakes, relentless action, and shocking twists that not even a Shifter could anticipate!” – E C Myers, author of Fair Coin
