City of Rust: an out-of-this-world sci-fi adventure!

Product Information

This well written and imaginative book will keep the reader gripped as they discover if a girl and her gecko, with the two Junker children they meet, save the world from its own trash. Back on the wasteland of Earth, engineer Railey and her bio-robotic gecko Atti dream of winning the drone races in dusty Boxville – but when a terrifying bounty hunter hijacks their race to look for them, they’re forced to hide in the rubbish-filled atmosphere above. Also, it’s made junk a form of money in a way-so you need it to live, but fear for your life from it at the same time.

In the shadows by the vending machines, Railey peered out of the gap between her jacket collar and her fringe. Ever since her father gave her an old telescope at the age of eight, Gemma has been obsessed with space.

This is a futuristic sci-fi adventure following Railey and her robotic pet gecko Atti, as their dreams of winning a drone race are destroyed and they are instead thrust into an adventure in the skies, where they must stop a gigantic trash bomb from destroying the planet.

Their bickering sibling-like bond was so special, and I even teared up at a few moments because of it!Gemma’s writing kept me hooked from the first chapter, she has such a fantastic imagination and that really comes across in her characters and story telling.
