Summary
Mortal Engines (Mortal Engines, Book 1)
The epic city-eat-city adventure is now a major motion picture produced by Peter Jackson! "A breathtaking work of imagination, Hester Shaw is a heroine for the ages. The moment we finished reading this book we knew we wanted to make it into a movie." -- Producer Peter Jackson * "Reeve's [ Mortal Engines ] remains a landmark of visionary imagination." -- School Library Journal , starred review Now a major motion picture produced by Peter Jackson! London is hunting again. Emerging from its hiding place in the hills, the great Traction City is chasing a terrified little town across the wastelands. Soon London will feed. In the attack, Tom Natsworthy is flung from the speeding city with a murderous scar-faced girl. They must run for their lives through the wreckage -- and face a terrifying new weapon that threatens the future of the world. Beloved storyteller Philip Reeve creates a brilliant new world in the Mortal Engines series, called "phenomenal... violent and romantic, action-packed and contemplative, funny and frightening" by the Sunday Times .
