Local DescriptionBernice's Review - The NZ young adult classic, back in print. Relish Mahy’s magical prose & beautifully real characters. Highly recommended reading. DescriptionAngela May and Tycho Potter are an unlikely pair. Angela is passionate, confident and popular, living an eccentric life with her mother at the top of Dry Creek Road. Her best friend Tyke prefers the company of his telescope and philosophy books - anything to escape the chaos of his family. But when a search for answers uncovers long-buried secrets, these two 18-year-olds will learn that sometimes the tough decisions we make have lifelong consequences. A moving and lyrical story that explores the truth of adolescence from Carnegie Medal-winning author, Margaret Mahy. ReviewsA brilliant romance - Kirkus Reviews Mahy's writing has a clarity and lyricism that looks effortless - The Guardian on THE TRICKSTERS Moments of lyrical intensity when the everyday is transformed - Publishers Weekly The thing I loved the most about The Catalogue of the Universe: its cleverness.
