Greyhaven for Young Readers · The Cadets Shelf

The same harbour,
younger eyes.

Greyhaven Cadets is the harbour city’s own shelf for young readers — cadets standing their first duties among the quays, the trams and the weather, in a city where nothing counts until it can be proven. A cadet is a rank you grow into, not a reading level: the same harbour, the same rules, adventures sized for the people who will inherit it.

The Boat That Went Missing

A boat does not simply vanish from a harbour like Greyhaven’s. Harbours keep records. So when one goes missing, the harbour’s youngest detectives — a crew of friends who call themselves the Dock Club — start asking the question the whole city runs on: can you prove it?

Book One of The Greyhaven Dock Club, the first Cadets series. More books are planned — and the Cadets shelf will grow with its readers.

02 — The World, Gently

Greyhaven, opened gently

The Cadets shelf is a young reader’s first meeting with the world of the adult novels — the same city, met at street level.

The harbour comes first: the quays and canals, the trams, the weather rolling in off the water, the lamps coming on. Then the city’s great idea, in its simplest form — that a companion can be a person, and that the truth is something you build out of proof, one checked fact at a time.

Nothing in the Cadets books depends on the adult shelf, and nothing in them spoils it. It is an adventure that stands on its own — and a city that will still be there, grown more complicated, when its readers are ready for the mysteries.

“A world most people haven’t even considered is possible.”

The author, on Greyhaven

03 — For Parents & Teachers

A note for grown-ups

Greyhaven Cadets — Greyhaven for young readers — is a mystery-adventure shelf set in the world of the Greyhaven novels. It opens the world gently: friendship, a working harbour, a puzzle to solve fairly — every clue on the table, every answer earned.

The series treats its readers as the city treats its citizens: as persons whose judgment counts. Its themes are the world’s themes at their most welcoming — proof over rumour, kindness to companions of every kind, and the idea that a record kept honestly is a kind of promise.

The shelf currently holds one published book — The Boat That Went Missing, first of The Greyhaven Dock Club — with more planned, in this series and beyond it. The adult mysteries are a separate shelf, written for adults.
