Philip Reeve: Mortal Engines

By MARGIE THOMSON

A thrilling adventure story set in a fantasy world where cities are on the move, consuming and attacking each other. The first in what is to be a trilogy, this debut novel tackles the big questions - class divisions, war - and last week scooped the prestigious Nestle Smarties book prize in the 9-11 category, although kids up to 16 will probably also love it.
