The Children of Limitless Ability can move things with their minds, vanish at will, or shapeshift into animals in the blink of an eye - but these gifts have made them targets. In Feather and Fang, Fenton Lodge, the school and home the COLA kids had grown to love, is being turned into a virtual prison, surrounded by walls and iron fences. A new prime minister has set up a crack force of experts to manage, contain, and if necessary shut down the COLA programme for good. With every communication scrutinised, Dax's only hope lies in reaching his spoilt little sister, Alice - and what she discovers about her own extraordinary abilities changes everything. Ali Sparkes brings together characters from across the series and its spin-off Unleashed for a gripping, emotionally satisfying finale that rewards long-time fans while still welcoming new readers into Dax's world. Blending high-octane action with wit, warmth and clever science-fantasy world-building, this 272-page paperback is a genuine page-turner that also explores loyalty, identity and the courage it takes to stand up against control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook six in Ali Sparkes's bestselling Shapeshifter series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e272-page paperback packed with fast-paced, page-turning action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollows fan-favourite hero Dax Jones and the COLA gang to a thrilling climax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlends science-fantasy adventure with humour, heart and family bonds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for confident middle-grade and young teen readers aged 9-14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMakes a brilliant standalone gift or series-completer for existing fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAli Sparkes is a bestselling British children's author and former BBC broadcaster and journalist.
