'(Readers)... will love the detailed world depicted in Father Thames, with familiar landmarks transformed since the 'Climate Upgrade' including the Thames Barrier Reef, Trafalgar Swamp and the remains of the London Eye, now known as 'the Socket'. Children will also revel in the mysterious invaders, who are part pirate and part Viking warriors. Father Thames is half book, half graphic novel, with Japanese manga style illustrations, which serve as excellent rewards for continued reading. The masked invaders are particularly chilling. The book is suitable for children in Years 5 and 6 and up and contains references to fairly tricky themes such as terrorist cells, but action-loving readers will lap this up.' Scholastic Education
We will also be purchasing our children more Mogzilla books as they are just wonderful (my 9 year old already has a list of the one's he'd like to try next).
