Mortal Engines

In the distant future, when cities move about and consume smaller towns, a fifteen-year-old apprentice is pushed out of London by the man he most admires and must seek answers in the perilous Out-Country, aided by one girl and the memory of another.

Philip Reeve was born in Brighton, England, and worked in a bookshop for many years before breaking out and becoming the illustrator children's book's. He has also produced and directed several no-budget theater productions, and cowrote a musical, The Ministry of Biscuits. Mr. Reeve and his wife and son now live in a hamlet high above the moorland in Devon, England.
