    The Ice Garden

    Written by Guy Jones

    Narrated by Billie Fulford-Brown

    About this audiobook

    Allergic to the sun, Jess sets out to explore the world she longs to be a part of by night. But what she discovers is a beautiful impossibility: a magical garden wrought of ice...

    Jess’s imagination has always been her best friend. She’s trained it to feel as real as it possibly can, especially in the stories she writes for Davie -- the young boy in a coma who is her only friend. But nothing is as real as the world she’ll find.

    One night, tired of peeking at the other children beyond her curtained house, she sneaks out to explore the empty playground she’s longed to visit. Beyond, she discovers a garden made entirely of ice. This is her place: a Narnia with flying elephant mice, ice apples with shining golf liquid inside.

    But Jess soon discovers that she’s not alone. And her presence there could be destroying its very existence.

    Guy Jones

    Guy Jones was always an observer even from a very young age. He watched and assimilated everything about him: this made him the ideal chronicler of this particular narrative. He is a man who is interested in life and people, and his varied worksmirror this, reflecting therecurring extremes of tragedy and humour in everyday living. A sequel is pending to The Journies...Demon Seed, and also a collection of plays.
