What the reviewers say... The first London Deep book was a Recommended Read for World Book Day in 2011. There are three titles in the series. ‘Robin Price’s writing is quirky with a bit of an edge to it that greatly adds realism to this dystopian version of London… Add in the gritty illustrated comic panels by Paul McGrory and you find this is indeed something quite new, not only in plot, but in style. It’s not just an illustrated novel, nor is it quite a graphic novel. It is a hybrid between the two… As such, it works quite well for the younger market. Children aged 9 and above who are reluctant to read but love comics will find the shorter full text sections easy to get through, with the comic panels adding punctuation to the action occurring within that part of the chapter.’ www.dooyoo.co.uk ‘London Deep is a really amazing story about a twelve year old girl called Jemima Mallard. She lives in a flooded London of the future!! … This book is a very enjoyable read with lots of drama action and fun. The comic pics are very enjoyable to look at and they fit well with this kind of story.’ Abigail – (aged 10). ‘Is this part graphic novel, part standard text, or is it a story with illustrations…? It made my head ache, but my eleven year old loved it and seemed to have no trouble cutting backwards and forwards between the two…’ Rachel Ayers Nelson – School Librarian Magazine (Father Thames) ‘Unusual in style and fast-moving, the writing ensures the reader is totally absorbed in the book and the people and places spring to life. The format is perfect for encouraging reluctant readers and they will be well rewarded by this exciting story.’ www.parentsintouch.co.uk
The Books ‘This is a terrifically atmospheric page-turning adventure told through words and comic art. Set in the near future, in a flooded London where rival police forces – one for adults and one for kids – compete to keep the peace, it intertwines the story of Jemima, daughter of the Chief Inspector of Police, with contemporary issues of climate change and the environment in an original and provocative way but without sounding patronising. It’s a rattling good read and one in which you are sure to be drawn in to Jemima’s exploits of survival.’ www.lovereading.co.uk ‘Through pace and narrative power, both admirably sustained, the book avoids becoming didactic. This is no campaign document on climate change… The characterization, especially of Jemima and Nick, is forceful and convincing. They capture the reader’s interest and carry the narrative forward…’ Armadillo Magazine “...the detailed world depicted in Father Thames (has) familiar landmarks transformed since the ‘Climate Upgrade’ – including the Thames Barrier Reef, Trafalgar Swamp and the remains of the London Eye, now known as ‘the Socket’. Children will also revel in the mysterious invaders, who are part pirate and part Viking warriors. Father Thames is half book, half graphic novel, with Japanese ‘manga’-style illustrations, which serve as excellent rewards for continued reading. The masked invaders are particularly chilling. The book contains references to fairly tricky themes such as terrorist cells, but action-loving readers will lap this up.’ Scholastic Education
