Silver Sequence series.
The carnivorous continent-size Roar reaches Earth, bent on satiation. All the children of the world have gathered at Coldharbour for protection, many strangely altered; five-year-old Jenny, transformed into a weapon, joins her giant winged brother as humankind's best hope. Tense action sequences blossom into a joyous, fulfilling conclusion, but it is the imagery--lyrical, mysterious, haunting--that will linger.

Silver Sequence series.
Four children--Walter, who grows to be twelve feet tall; Freda and Emily, who walk like crabs; Helen, who reads minds--are drawn to the derelict mudflats of Coldharbour where they join forces with a young healer. Something bad is coming, and so far only these children sense it. Despite flat characterization, well-wrought atmospherics permeate this first volume of a projected series.
