Seit der großen Flut vor drei Jahren müssen sie sich allein über den Dächern der versunkenen Stadt durchschlagen – die kämpferische Isabella und ihre vier Freunde. Auf der Hut vor Erwachsenen und mörderischen Stürmen haben sie in den oberen Etagen eines wunderlichen Hauses Unterschlupf gefunden. Bis der draufgängerische Quentin auftaucht, der eine Flugmaschine gebaut hat. Endlich können sie sich weiter in die Ruinen ihrer alten Welt hineinwagen, aber die Freiheit bringt neue Gefahren. Auf dem Wasser treibt Pirat Sneddon sein Unwesen … und unter den Wellen lauert etwas noch viel Schlimmeres!
Grimsdon Serie
Questa serie segue un gruppo di intraprendenti giovani sopravvissuti che navigano in un paesaggio urbano allagato e post-apocalittico. Prosperando tra le rovine di una metropoli annegata, si affidano al loro ingegno e coraggio per eludere i pericoli che si nascondono sopra e sotto la superficie dell'acqua. La narrazione esplora temi di resilienza, famiglia ritrovata e la ricerca della libertà in mezzo al collasso ambientale e alla minaccia di altri disperati sopravvissuti.

Isabella and her friends are nervous about what they'll find in the New City. It's inland and it's dry - far from the flooded city they've just left. Will their lives here be as luxurious and carefree as Xavier says? In fact, bleak, uncertain times have brought darkness and danger to New City. The city has been divided in two- the citizens who have, and those who the ruling Major General says have come to steal from them - the refugees who have fled the rising waters, who are imprisoned in a camp on the edge of the city. The kids of Grimsdon once faced sea monsters and evil harbour lords, but now they face new threats. From freakish weather events that whip up with little warning to the fierce misinformation that swirls around the city to the theft of their freedom, now they face the prison-like restrictions and control of the New City. Unlike the refugees, they're heralded as heroes. But what does the Major General really want from them?
