When the World Ends - Joanna Nadin

A unique story of hope that'll make you laugh and cry in equal measure, from the acclaimed author of No Man's Land and Joe All Alone. You think it will be silent when it rises. But it comes in athunder and rush,a clatter and clanking ofcars smashing on lampposts andthe sides of fried chicken shops,of things in the water thatshould be on land. When the unthinkable happens to the planet, two ragtag groups of kids on opposite sides of England beat the odds and escape death. But they soon realise that the only way to be truly safe is to seek a place they've only heard about in stories. As their treacherous journeys unfold, can they help each other survive - even when the world is ending around them?
