Half-Life was longlisted for the 2025 Gertrude Warner Book Awards novel competition for Middle Grade Fiction.
Genre: Middle Grade Adventure
He was built for small things. But he dreams of adventure.
All Half wants is a life free from Electricians.
He’s sick of being shoved into remote controls, clocks, and talking toys.
But it’s hard to escape when you’re a rechargeable lithium-ion AA battery.
Half dreams of adventure.
Real adventure.
The kind he just doesn’t... have... the... energy... for.
Then he meets Hope, a brave little alkaline with a spark of her own.
Together, they set off to see how far two batteries can really go.
To the edge of the lounge room?
The borders of the house?
Beyond... into Space?
There’s just one catch: Half doesn’t hold charge like he used to.
Can a half-full battery still go the distance?
Half-Life will be released 24 January 2026. Pre-order now to receive your copy at least two weeks before the release date.
