Ara has no rights because she is a girl. Her society is patriathical. It is against the law to go out at day or night without a cloak covering you. It is impossible to learn language or knowledge. It is treasonous for a women or girl to speak or revolt. Ara is different, all the other women in the society are stupid, blindly following the mens rule, but Ara is wise, wiser than the rest, she knows no knowledge only wisdom. She knows words, but not how to speak them. She knows numbers, but does not know how to write them. 
   One day Ara goes out to fetch water and meets a boy her age and everything changes... Two children.Two worlds. Two stories.

Geoff and Naomi are dead, and they're depressed, but when Geoff's cat Bernie dies as well, they embark on a wild journey to find it in the underworld. ***** When Geoff dies, alongside his girlfriend Naomi, they end up sharing an apartment in the Underworld as skeletons. But after a few years, Geoff starts suffering a mid-death crisis. What's the purpose of going through the motions as a skeleton if you can't really live? Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
