Part graphic novel and part adventure tale, this fantasy that takes
place in the near future follows a spunky heroine living in a
flooded London where rival police forces compete to keep the peace.
Jemima Mallard doesn't have time to worry about the fact that the
city has been sinking ever since the climate upgrade--she's having
a bad day. Her boyfriend knocks her off a pier, some hooded youths
scuttle her houseboat, and she loses two tanks of precious air that
were gifts from her father. Even worse, the Youth Police accuse her
of being mixed up with a criminal named Father Thames and her
father--the Chief Inspector of the Adult Police--can't seem to fix
the error. Ideal for manga fans and reluctant readers, this
copiously illustrated story explores environmental themes in an
accessible and exciting manor.
