The third thrilling book in the award-winning MORTAL ENGINES quartet.
In a world removed from the huge motorized cities of MORTAL ENGINES,
Wren is desperate to escape the static city of Anchorage, and
a charming submarine pirate is ready to help her. But when she steals
a mysterious object, she ignites a conflict that could tear
the world apart.
MORTAL ENGINES launched Philip Reeve's brilliantly-imagined creation,
the world of the Traction Era, where mobile cities fight for
survival in a post-apocalyptic future. Now, in time for the film
debut, the critically acclaimed MORTAL ENGINES quartet is repackaged
with a fantastic and eye-catching cover featuring new artwork.
An out-of-this-world middle-grade adventure about finding friendship in the most unlikely of places. From the bestselling and Waterstones Children’s Book Prize shortlisted author of BOY IN THE TOWER. Perfect for fans of Stranger Things and authors, such as Ross Welford and Lisa Thompson.
Something strange is happening in Ana’s city . . . she’s the only one awake. Confused and curious, Ana sets off to explore, bumping into the one other person who’s been able to rouse themselves – her ex–best friend, Tio. On a mission to discover what’s happening, Ana and Tio journey through the city looking for clues, their friendship mending with every step. When a mysterious creature suddenly materialises in front of them, Ana realises they’ve found the answer they’ve been looking for. But one question still remains: Why them?

It's the end of term and Sam and Arty are anxiously awaiting the final bell. They barely pay attention when the bumbling science teacher causes an explosion and accidentally covers one of the pupils with a strange goo. Sam and Arty are sure it won't be serious - stuff like this happens all the time at their school.
But then zombies (and bits of zombies) start turning up, desperate to munch on braaaaaaaiiiins! With a bunch of useless adults quickly getting themselves infected instead of sorting the situation out, Sam, Arty and their fearless friend Emmie have to take charge.
If they can't find a cure, they'll be zombie breakfast . . .
