Possible Springs

In Possible Springs by Kate Ross, a coming-of-age mystery with a touch of magical realism, a remote Australian town hums with secrets you can almost hear. It’s the kind of small-town fiction that pulls you in quietly, then refuses to let go.

Back in the summer of 1987, eleven-year-old Jimny Adams should have drowned—until her teacher, Mr Cross, saved her. Seven years later, Jimny is eighteen, sharp-eyed and slightly offbeat, and living with the unsettling aftershock of that day: she can hear thoughts. In Possible Springs, where everyone knows your business and difference is punished, she does her best to keep her strange gift hidden. But the town has its own shadows, and Jimny’s ability keeps tugging her towards truths no-one wants aired.

Perfect for readers who love Australian small-town mysteries, uncanny extrasensory twists, and character-driven YA/coming-of-age stories.

Step into Possible Springs and see what the town is trying to keep quiet.
