The right hand pages present a fiction, developing a story from beginning to end. The facing pages are non-fiction as they develop the real world concepts that are being used in the fiction story.nnThe technique seems to work well because both the fiction story and the non-fi

All the main characters court it, constantly pushing themselves perilously close to the limit. The story is set mostly around Angelus, a seaside town in Western Australia. The main c
