What lurks beneath the waves? What lies around the riverbend? Find out by diving into this flood of ideas by young Australian authors!Fifteen young editors, mentored by children's author Davina Bell and publishing industry professionals, have put together a collection of underwater-themed stories unlike anything you've ever seen. The collection includes fifteen intrepid tales and poems written by young Australian writers between the ages of 8 and 12, alongside a contribution from a bestselling professional adult author (TBD). Tales Beyond the Tides is the tenth book created through 100 Story Building's Early Harvest youth publishing program. In this program, a panel of young editors, aged 11 and 12, are assembled every year to select the book's theme, commission the artwork, curate the collection and make all the creative decisions involved in putting the book together, making it AUSTRALIA's ONLY publication edited and written by kids for kids.The Early Harvest program was launched in 2011. Since then, the associated publications have featured 130 young authors as well as Sally Morgan, Andy Griffiths, Shaun Tan, Alice Pung, Sally Rippin, Maxine Beneba Clarke, Andrew McDonald, Davina Bell, and Morris Gleitzman.
