Product Information

Description 

As they confront their deepest fears and confront the truths of their pasts, they must summon their courage and intelligence to save their world from an impending catastrophe. Instead it is incinerated or ends up in landfill, where it will sit for hundreds of years, or enters the world's seas where it fragments into tiny pieces to become microplastics - the environmental scourge of our times. As they delve deeper into the island's mysteries, they uncover links to the Leviathan, leading them on an exhilarating journey that intertwines their fates with Ellie and Seth. They embark on an epic quest to locate the Eternity Engine, a legendary device with the power to alter the fate of the Leviathan and the City. With rich world-building, compelling characters, and a narrative filled with unexpected twists, this collection will captivate both young readers and adults alike, delivering a memorable and immersive reading experience. As she befriends the boy named Seth, they uncover long-hidden secrets that challenge everything they thought they knew about the City and the creature that haunts it. So now is the time to speak up, take action and demand the change you want to see in the ocean, in the supermarket aisles and on the streets. "Orphans of the Tide": In the first installment, we meet Ellie, a young girl who discovers a mysterious boy washed up on the shores of the City, a place dominated by the colossal body of the Leviathan. When it comes to single-use plastics, we are habitual users, reaching out for plastic water bottles, disposable coffee cups, plastic straws and carrier bags multiple times a day. If only 12 of us adopt Lucy's 'reduce, rethink, refill, refuse' approach, we could potentially ditch 3K-15K single items of plastic in a year.
