Worldshaker

Col's safe, civilized world on the Upper Decks of the Worldshaker, a huge ship that has been sailing since 1845, is changed forever when a Filthy from Below finds her way into his cabin. Col twisted over in bed, lifted the fringed edge of his bedspread and looked underneath. Two eyes looked back at him. The female Filthy! Disgusting! Then she moved. Fast as a snake, she slid out and knelt at the side of his bed. 'Don't let 'em take me,' she said. Richard Harland has created an acutely observed and utterly compelling Gothic world of warped Victoriana to explore 16-year-old Col's journey from cosseted youth to courageous maturity. 'I loved Worldshaker!...Dark, twisting, bustling, brilliant...I was very, very glum when it came to an end.' - D.M. Cornish 'I was captivated from the beginning.' - Samantha, 15 'A terrific adventure, full of sly humour, weird and wonderful characters, and plot twists I never saw coming.' - Ian Irvine
