Mortal Engines

London is on the move again. The city has been lying low, skulking in the hills to avoid the bigger, faster, hungrier cities loose in the Great Hunting Ground. The great town moves off after its quarry as events within the walls begin to take a sinister turn. This brilliant, astonishing fiction debut from a talented new author is an adventure story to stir the blood. 'Mortal Engines' was short-listed for The Whitbread Children's Book of the Year, Blue Peter Book of the Year 2003, and Gold winner of the Nestle Book Prize.
