Summaries

The Dust Factory is an adventure about the love and friendship between two teenagers who help each other through a difficult time in their lives.

After his dad Ryan senior's death in a truck accident, schoolboy Ryan Flynn, a gentle, somewhat nerdy space-fan, becomes a recluse. He shuts up completely after a fall and near-drowning experience while roaming the countryside with his admirably patient, cheerful playmate Rocky Mazzelli. Only Ryan's late granddad finds a magical way to get through to him and introduce him to a mysterious place, the 'dust factory'. There grandpa and resident teenager Melanie 'Pan' Lewis shows how youngsters prepare for their next life phase. But deciding when they are isn't easy or safe.—KGF Vissers

A young female and a young male become friends and do their absolute best to help each other in the most difficult times that they are both experiencing in their lives. All kinds of problems are getting in the way of them living in freedom and peace.—RECB3
