"A thrilling and thought-provoking sci-fi adventure that's shot through with humanity. A great read." Christopher Edge
"Shades of C3PO and Blade Runner... In a nail-biting series of plot twists, human and droid loyalties are tested." The Observer
The Last of Us meets Wall-E in this post-apocalyptic tale of family, hope and survival from a multi-award-winning author.
Jen and her father are making their way across a deserted world after a technological collapse brought civilization as people knew it to an end. The Flood took out all technology, but also many people who were connected to a central information hive. Those who are left behind must find each other and build a new life. But Jen's father isn't related to her by blood – he is a human-appearing AI, a glitch in the system, and a secret that must be kept, even from those she wishes she could trust...
Exploring themes of what it means to be human, the value of every individual and where true danger lies – in our technological creations, or the ones who create them – this is a powerful and hopeful dystopian adventure for readers age 9+
