'My favourite contemporary children's author is Philip Reeve'

- Charlie Higson

An epic, thrilling, action-packed city-eat-city adventure

starring brave fighter Tamzin Pook, who must travel

from the spectator sport combat arena in Margate to the Thunder City,

where a chilling, ruthless villain has seized power.

She will face Revenants - animal/machine hybrids

with ferocious appetites - dangerous mercenaries

and must learn to trust a group of oddballs whose eccentricities

mask their huge hearts and steadfast courage.

The Mortal Engines series has sold over half a million copies

in the UK alone via Nielsen Bookscan. Its epic appeal crosses all

age ranges

Reeve’s novels have won the Guardian Children’s Award,

Blue Peter Award, Smarties Gold Prize and the Carnegie Medal.

Mortal Engines is now a feature film produced by Lord

of the Rings director, Peter Jackson
