Mortal Engines - Philip Reeve

If you're looking for something completely new, then look no further.

Imagine if cities could move. Not just a few buildings, but whole cities - giant structures lumbering across the landscape, churning the earth with their massive wheels or gargantuan tracks.

Imagine that bigger cities survive by preying on smaller ones. Put yourself aboard London. Feel the deckplates shudder beneath your feet as your home hurtles to devour a smaller city.

Then imagine the fear if you were to fall from your city. You've lost everything. Your hero has tried to kill you. You are thrust onto the wrecked surface. And with you - a strange, disfigured girl. The girl you were trying to catch. The girl who has just attempted to murder someone.

A fast and complex adventure. Masses of action. Superb characters. Twists and turns.
