Signed copy of the first graphic novel in the acclaimed London Deep series by Robin Price. With text and comic artwork on every page, it's ideal for children 9+ who like a dystopian read with atmospheric manga style artwork.
London Deep - Jemima Mallard is having a bad day. First she loses her air, then two kids sink her houseboat, and now the YPD (Youth Police) think she's mixed up with a criminal called Father Thames. Not even her dad, a Chief Inspector with the 'Dult' Police, can help her out this time. Oh and London's still sinking. It's been underwater ever since the climate upgrade.

London Deep was chosen as a Recommended Read for World Book Day 2011. It was also picked as one of Manchester's 24 recommended reads for 2010. 'This is a terrifically atmospheric page-turning adventure told through words and comic art. Set in the near future, in a flooded London where rival police forces - one for adults and one for kids - compete to keep the peace, it intertwines the story of Jemima, daughter of the Chief Inspector of Police, with contemporary issues of climate change and the environment in an original and provocative way but without sounding patronising. It's a rattling good read and one in which you are sure to be drawn in to Jemima's exploits of survival.' Lovereading.co.uk
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).
