A place for lost children may also be their prison...
High in the mountains sits Nowhere, a verdant valley surrounded by walls of rock. People have lived at Nowhere for centuries, though never for long, and rarely happily. Its last owner was its most famous: movie star Leaf Winham, who built Nowhere House as his refuge, to hide from his fame - and to hide his crimes. Only when Nowhere House went up in flames were the graves discovered, the last resting places of young men who would never go home.
Years later, it is rumoured that Nowhere is now a refuge for runaway children, a place where adults cannot enter. Drawn by this promise, fourteen-year-old Riley pulls her brother Oliver from his bed in the middle of the night, hoping to find a new family. But there is darkness in the ruins of Nowhere House, something which asks a terrible price for sanctuary...©2026 Catriona Ward (P)2022 HarperCollins Publishers

Editorial Review
The price to pay isn't pretty...
Nowhere is somewhere for Riley and Oliver, the protagonists of Catriona Ward's
Nowhere Burning, an intense retelling of two of my favorite classic tales as a child,
Peter Pan and
Lord of the Flies. Big sister Riley and young Oliver, on the run from their abusive uncle and seeking sanctuary with a self-governing group of fellow runaways, are about to learn that the cost of safety may put them in more danger than ever before. Ward's knack for crafting stories that delve into chilling themes has had my attention since I read
The Last House on Needless Street. Combined with the dual narrative performance by Christopher Ragland and Katherine Fenton, the story leaves a lasting impression about the dangers that lurk even when we think we're safe. — Nicole R., Audible Editor
