Tyro David, Mcrobbie

David McRobbie's *Tyro* follows a teenage boy who stumbles into a parallel world where everything familiar has twisted into something darker and more dangerous. What starts as a strange detour becomes a desperate fight to get home — but the longer he stays, the harder it is to remember which world he belongs to. McRobbie, an Australian YA author known for his sharp pacing and unsettling premises, keeps the tension high while exploring identity, choice, and what happens when reality starts to slip. The atmosphere is eerie without being heavy-handed, and the stakes feel real. This is for readers who like their YA fiction with an edge — fans of *The Knife of Never Letting Go* or early M.T. Anderson will find a lot to love here.
