Die Welt nach der Katastrophe
Wie ist es, Regen, Schnee oder Sonne auf dem Gesicht zu spüren? Und wie sehen wechselnde Jahreszeiten aus und fühlen sich verschiedene Temperaturen an?
Das alles ist der 16-jährigen Leyla völlig fremd, denn seit einer verheerenden Naturkatastrophe steht die Welt komplett unter Wasser. Leyla kennt nur das Leben im versunkenen London – bis ihr Vater festgenommen wird. Zum ersten Mal verlässt sie zusammen mit dem verschlossenen Ari ihre Heimat, um ihren Vater zu befreien. Doch die britische Regierung stellt sich ihnen in den Weg. Mit allen Mitteln will sie verhindern, dass Leyla eine dunkle Verschwörung aufdeckt.
Eine rasante Climate-Fiction für Jugendliche ab 14 Jahren, die ein erschreckendes Szenario darstellt: Was passiert, wenn wir den Klimawandel nicht aufhalten können? Geschickt werden politische Themen wie Diversität und Fremdenfeindlichkeit mit einer packenden Geschichte kombiniert. Düster, actionreich und topaktuell!
Leyla McQueen has finally reunited with her father after breaking him out of Broadmoor—the illegal government prison—but his freedom comes at a terrible cost. As Leyla celebrates his return, she must grapple with the pain of losing Ari. Now separated from the boy who has her heart and labeled the nation’s number-one enemy, Leyla must risk illegal travel through unchartered waters in her quest for the truth behind her father's arrest. Across Britain, the fallout from Leyla's actions has escalated tensions between Anthropoid and non-Anthropoid communities, bringing them to an all-time high. And, as Leyla and her friends fight to uncover the startling truths about their world, she discovers her own shocking past—and the horrifying secrets behind her father’s abduction and arrest. But as these long-buried truths finally begin to surface, so, too, do the authorities’ terrible future plans. And if ever-pervasive fear prevents the people from taking a stand now, the abyss could stay in the dark forever.
At the end of the twenty-first century, the world has changed dramatically, but life continues one thousand feet below the ocean's surface. In Great Britain, sea creatures swim among the ruins of Big Ben and the Tower of London, and citizens waver between fear and hope: fear of what lurks in the abyss and hope that humanity will soon discover a way to reclaim the planet. Meanwhile, sixteen-year-old Leyla McQueen has her own problems to deal with. Her father's been arrested, accused of taking advantage of victims of the Seasickness-a malaise that consumes people, often claiming their lives. But Leyla knows he's innocent, and all she's interested in is getting him back so that their lives can return to normal. When she's picked to race in the London Submersible Marathon, Leyla gets the chance to secure his freedom: the Prime Minister promises the champion whatever their heart desires. The race takes an unexpected turn, though, and presents her with an opportunity she never wanted: Leyla must venture outside of London for the first time in her life, to find and rescue her father herself. Now, she'll have to brave the waters and defy a corrupt government determined to keep its secrets, all the while dealing with a secretive, hotheaded companion she never asked for. As she discovers a world drowning in lies, how much longer can Leyla hold out hope for the truth? If she fails or falls prey to her own fears, she risks capture-or worse. And her father might be lost forever.
