Robin Price started writing late in 2004 - having previously written songs for a musical version of The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson. This was a massive hit (because of Julia's brilliant book and Tall Stories fab production. See www.tallstories.org.uk ). It toured the UK and ended up on Broadway - opposite The Lion King! After that, Robin got into writing kids fiction. He is probably best known for the 'Spartapuss' adventures - set in an ancient Rome ruled entirely by cats. Visit www.mogzilla.co.uk for more info.
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
