He's trapped in a ruined starship full of monsters. But every section he fixes will help him turn the tide.Jasper Cloud has been torn from a dystopian Earth and thrust into a mighty but ruined alien starship, where deranged and mutated creatures haunt the darkened corridors. They've consumed all but one crewmember: the being serving as the ship's core, a young woman as badly damaged as the starship itself.They both should be as doomed as Jasper was back on Earth, but for one surprise: Jasper has the power to help repair the damaged sections of the mighty vessel.And every section he repairs also augments his own body.If he is quiet and careful, he can turn himself into a weapon capable of defeating the hungry horrors still prowling the ship's halls, and reactivate the most powerful spacecraft left in the universe.But if he fails, then the creatures will have a vessel of their own to visit and devour every populated planet left-Earth included.Cradle meets Dead Space.

"Many of these poems engage with 'love', as a perception, as a verb, but to say so underestimates them. Visceral, tangential, with a genuine sense of belief / refusal to believe. You might think that you've arrived but, most of all, how interesting it is trying to get there." (Lucy Burnett)

The firefly remembers a time when he didnt have the awesome glow. It was some time ago when he was a little bug, and the others made fun of him. He didnt have any friends. He wasnt invited to birthday parties. They said he wasnt special and wasnt worth anything. For a time, firefly believed those naysayers. That is, until he met a butterfly who experienced the same thing and offered some sage advice. Firefly was hopeful. Then, one day, he broke through his cocoon and experienced a transformation that told him he could dream and be what he wanted to be.A picture book for children, I, Firefly shares the story of a creature who had a hard time fitting in. He learns it never hurts to have a friendly reminder that who youre meant to be is found in who you are.
