Escape

'I love reading Sarah Govett - she's whip-smart, funny and by plugging into the hope and energy of the youth makes me feel better about these dark times.' Dame Emma Thompson

Second in The Territory trilogy. The year is 2059. 15-year-old Noa Blake has to take an exam to stay in the Territory - but her childhood friend Jack has been sent to the disease-ridden Wetlands where few people survive long. Noa and new boyfriend Raf have vowed to rescue Jack, but how? Can they find a gap in The Territory's defences and will they find Jack in the wilderness beyond? And how divided are Noa's loyalties when put to the test...
