Hodder Literature: a new and exciting series of literature for Key Stage 3 for whole class use. Tarrin is a natural-born child living in a world where children are rare. Medical science has enabled people to live to a vast age whilst still looking youthful. The dream of almost eternal youth has been realised at the cost of fertility. Children are so prized that they are bought and sold, even kidnapped. Tarrin lives in this future world with his guardian, Deet, who uses him to provide his living by renting him to childless couples by the hour. Deet wants Tarrin to have the PP (Peter Pan) implant, so that he will never grow up and remain a child for the rest of his life. Tarrin wants to grow old naturally and he dreams of finding his true parents one day. Shortlisted for the Guardian's Children's Fiction Award 2005.
