The orphanage: book one - the weird ones

By Joe Wheeler

Welcome to gravelmouth Orphanage. No families. No freedom. And definitely no normal kids.

Casper arrives with shadows clinging to his heels-literally. Quiet, pale, and haunted by something he won't talk about, he's just hoping to keep his head down. But this place has other ideas.

Inside the crumbling walls of Greystone, Casper meets five other orphans-each weirder than the last. Jett can spark electricity with a temper to match. Felix talks to machines like they're his mates. Wren disappears mid-sentence. Reed becomes anything... or anyone. And Tao? Calm as a monk-but controls the elements themselves.

But something dark is watching them. Staff whisper about "Class Threes." There's a Program. A plan. And if these kids get too close, too powerful, everything could go up in smoke.

Casper thought he was alone in the world. He was wrong.

Now the weird ones are waking up. And they're about to learn what they really are.
