Children of the Different | Stuart Flynn
2 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
Nineteen years ago, a brain disease known as the Great Madness killed most of the world's population. The survivors all had something different about their minds. Now, at the start of adolescence, their children enter a trance-like state known as the Changeland and emerge either with special mental powers or as cannibalistic Ferals. In the great forest of South West Western Australia, thirteen-year-old Arika and her twin brother Narrah go through the Changeland. They encounter an enemy known as the Anteater who feeds on human life. He exists both in the Changeland and in the outside world, and he wants the twins dead. After their Changings, the twins have powers that let them fight their enemy and face their destiny on a long journey to an abandoned American military base on the north-west coast of Australia...if they can reach it before time runs out. Children of the Different is a post-apocalyptic fantasy novel set among the varied landscapes and wildlife of Western Australia.

This is YA novel set in nearish future Australia after an apocalyptic viral infection has killed just about everyone. The MCs are a set of twins about 15 years old.

I loved the surreal dreamscape of the Changeland, where teenagers transform and where anything could happen.

Because the 2 main characters are a set of psychically linked twins, and they are on alternate quests to save one another, there‘s a bit of repetition. Good first novel!

2BR02B The cover is really eye-catching! 6y

CHILDREN OF THE DIFFERENT by S.C. Flynn is postapocalyptic YA set in Western Australia. While it had some interesting concepts, it was ultimately let down in execution.
