Exploring Great Britain's cultural and geographic diversity, this series pairs fiction and nonfiction accounts by both new and established writers. Each volume offers a chance to get beyond the tourist destinations, as contemporary British authors reflect on the meaning of home.

As a member of the band Mull Historical Society, Colin MacIntyre tours the world, but in Boy in the Bubble he recalls coming of age in the 1980s on a small, isolated island in the Hebrides. In the novella A9, Ellen MacAskill tells the tale of a girl torn between her love in Inverness and the chance to spread her wings.
