"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.

age ranges
Reeve’s novels have won the Guardian Children’s Award,
Blue Peter Award, Smarties Gold Prize and the Carnegie Medal.
