“I was not one to believe in make-believe. Not without evidence.”

When thirteen-year-old scientist Ange is whisked from her home to the middle of a forest, she thinks she’s cracked teleportation. Until she hears Eva’s voice in her head, talking about magic and spells and a potion-gone-wrong. 

Turns out Ange is stuck in Eva’s body – in a world full of magic, where no one has heard of physics or chemical equations – while Eva is in Ange’s world and a little too keen to start casting spells for the fun of it.

Now Ange needs to figure out how to swap back before they’re found out. But if their constant bickering doesn’t get in the way, Eva’s habit of pranking and Ange’s inability to catch toads just might.

What happens when change is inevitable?

You fear. You deny. You revolt. You choose. You evolve. You accept. You embrace.

Journey through the works of forty-six writers from RMIT University’s Associate Degree in Professional Writing and Editing as they search for answers in this thought-provoking anthology. Each story traces a new path. Each ending leads to a question. 

How do you come to terms with what you become?

‘The writers have wielded words like a scalpel, carving time into moments, the precise moment that’s needed to tell the story and to break your heart, but no more.’
