Crowfall

Description: A rip-roaring, island-hopping adventure - and unforgettable
ecological fable - from the award-winning author of Wildspark
and Brightstorm.
'Hardy has drunk from the same cup as Philip Reeve and Philip
Pullman.' - LITERARY REVIEW

Ironhold is an orderly place where "industry brings prosperity",
and where nature is pushed aside for progress. But when Orin Crowfall,
a lowly servant boy, learns that the island itself
is in grave danger, that knowledge makes him a target of
powerful forces.
He narrowly escapes on a small boat, but then faces a fight
for survival with his robot friend, Cody, in the stormy ocean,
pursued by a terrifying sea monster. Can they make it to
safety, somewhere beyond the horizon? And will Orin find a way
back to save his family before everything is destroyed?

To succeed, Orin will need to dig deep for courage, trust in new
friends, and, ultimately, have faith in himself.
