Grimsdon (Grimsdon, #1)

Deborah Abela
4.01/5 (369 ratings)
The city of Grimsdon is in ruins. Three years ago the sea surged toward it, bloating its river and sending waves stampeding into its grand, historic centre. While many were rescued, others disappeared in the panic and swell. The lost, the poor and the orphaned were left behind and moved into the upper floors of damp city buildings and opulent mansions - the only levels of the city's buildings which still rise above the water. One of the lost is Isabella Charm. Separated from her parents when the floods struck, she is the reluctant 12-year-old leader of a group of children who hide out in a lavish top-floor mansion. Along with her friend Griffin, a brilliantly intelligent boy who desperately hides his crush on Isabella, and Xavier, a plucky, thrill-seeking newcomer, Isabella and her gang scavenge for food and supplies, avoid the bounty hunters, and deal with Byron P. Sneddon, the self-appointed protector of the flooded harbour. Will the fabled Kraken, monster of the deep, come to Grimsdon? And what is Xavier's secret that will put them all in danger?
