THE TIMES CHILDREN'S BOOK OF THE WEEK
- July 2018
"This rebel-girl spy merits
centre stage" Alex O’Connell, The Times
A key character in the Mortal Engines book and film, this is
your chance to learn more of her past.
Night Flights
includes Traction City, the 2011 World Book Day Book
by Philip Reeve.
In a dangerous future world where gigantic,
motorised cities attack and devour each other, London hunts
where no other predator dares.
But Anna Fang - pilot, adventurer,
spy - isn't afraid.
The three stories show gripping,
moving, exciting moments in Anna Fang's life:
- her
childhood as a slave aboard the moving city Arkangel,
a
showdown against a robotic Stalker that is terrifyingly out of
control
and her free life as an intelligence agent for the
Anti-Traction league that might not be quite as free as she hoped...
Fully illustrated throughout
with stunning drawings by Ian McQue, cover illustrator of the
His Dark Materials & Book of Dust series by
Philip Pullman.
