About this listen

Megan is obsessed with drawing fantastical creatures and she shares them with her best friend Li who writes stories to go with the pictures. They are kindred spirits with big creative dreams.

One day everyone in town – except Megan and Li – is immobilised by a strange glow coming from their phones. Megan and Li are initially frightened and alarmed, but when they realise they are somehow immune, they set out to seek help.

Soon a battle unfolds, a thrilling battle that pits all of their creative energies against the terrible monster that has ensnared everyone else around them.

A wonderfully spooky tale from one of Australia's finest writers.

Critic reviews

'Not one for those who scare easily, The Glow keeps the reader guessing the resolution of the all-encompassing and menacing glow until the very end ... this new middle-grade novel is imagination at its best.' (Books+Publishing)
'A good reminder that our imaginations possess power.' (Booklist)
'Overall, The Glow is an excellent middle-grade horror novel that offers a thrilling and spooky adventure while promoting the power of friendship, creativity and imagination.' (Reading Time)
'Megan and Li are an unbeatable team, and their friendship is a brilliant testament to the power of being true to yourself. Though there are some frightening moments, in the end Megan and Li and their uniqueness save the day. Perfect for all kids 8+, but especially for those who are just a little bit different.'
