Orphans of the Tide

De: Struan Murray

Narrado por: Georgina Campbell, Lucian Msamati

Brought to you by Puffin.

The City was built on a sharp mountain that jutted improbably from the sea, and the sea kept trying to claim it back. That grey morning, once the tide had retreated, a whale was found on a rooftop.

When a mysterious boy washes in with the tide, the citizens believe he's the Enemy - the god who drowned the world - come again to cause untold chaos.

Only Ellie, a fearless young inventor living in a workshop crammed with curiosities, believes he's innocent.

But the Enemy can take possession of any human body and the ruthless Inquisition are determined to destroy it forever.

To save the boy, Ellie must prove who he really is - even if that means revealing her own dangerous secret . . .

Reseñas de la Crítica

A sumptuously atmospheric adventure . . . Murray is a tirelessly inventive storyteller (Emily Bearn)

Gripping . . . with a touch of Frances Hardinge's bizarre brilliance (Imogen Russell Williams)

Unputdownable . . . Murray has an extraordinary imagination (Alex O'Connell)

Wonderful

Highly recommend both for kids and adults. I read it in parallel with my daughter. Made for a very nice dinner topic. Very likable Dr Faust in a dramatic setting of the drowned world.
