This action-packed sequel to FloodWorld carries on where the first book left off and moves from London across the Atlantic and across what would be the USA if the USA as a united country existed in this climate-changed world.

A good read with plenty of pace and some clever bits in it. (It's also a fun geography lesson!)

I enjoyed this even more than FloodWorld and the whole premise of what the world might be like if sea levels rise is rather scary and far too realistic! There's a bit of a cliffhanger ending, so look out for book three...

I tried really hard, but I couldn't get along with this one. I struggled a bit with the first one and the only reason I really picked up the second book was because I already had it out from the library. It's a pity, because others' reviews are great, but it just fails to resonate with me. Pity.

Ooof, what a rollercoaster!!!! I absolutely loved the first book in this series and all the muppets be damned, this one was even better!!! Reading this book felt like watching Mad Max mixed with 1995 Waterworld, so if you like either or both of these movies then this book is your MUST READ!!! 

The plot is great, insanely engaging and addictive, especially for a children’s book. Honestly, if you’re a quick reader, once you’ll start this book, you’ll get through it within hours, that’s how crazy it is! The characters are well-written and lovable, even the bad… good… meh? ones… although that’s kinda the whole point of this series-to show that everyone has their dark side and people are not one-dimensional blobs. Many of the bad guys we met as readers in the Floodworld went through a character development and are really surprising personalities in this book. 

Ehhh, one thing I hate about good books is that I never know what to say about them. So, because I’m speechless, I’ll just scream:

 FOR THE LOVE OF ALL CAPYBARAS: READ THIS SERIES OR I’M GONNA FIND YOU AND STEAL THE LAST 50 PAGES FROM ALL OF YOUR BOOKS !!!!!!!!!
