THE EXPERIMENT by Rebecca Stead

Nathan never understood what was ‘fun’ about secrets, probably because he’s always had to keep a very big one, even from his best friend, Victor. Although he appears to be a typical grade-six kid, Nathan learned at an early age that his family is from another planet, and he’s part of an experiment to work out how to behave like a human and blend in. But the experiment suddenly seems to be going wrong. Some of the other experimenters, including Nathan’s first crush, Izzy, are disappearing without a word.

“That’s the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet.”

-Jhumpa Lahiri​

I acknowledge the Awabakal People, the traditional owners of the land this site was created on, and pay my respects to their elders past, present and emerging. Their stories are the heart of this nation.
