A gripping, prizewinning novel about a girl surviving in a
devastated world. Imagine that a few years from now England is
covered by water, and Norwich is an island. Zoe, left behind in the
confusion when her parents escaped, survives there as best she can.
Alone and desperate among marauding gangs, she manages to dig a
derelict boat out of the mud and gets away to Eels Island. But Eels
Island, whose raggle-taggle inhabitants are dominated by the
strange boy Dooby, is full of danger too. The belief that she will
one day find her parents spurs Zoe on to a dramatic escape in a
story of courage and determination that is handled with warmth and
humanity. This book was the winner of the Branford Boase Award 2001
and marked the start of author Marcus Sedgwick's
multi-award-winning career.
