Reek by Alastair Chisholm
"The Reek came from nowhere. It killed every breathing creature it passed over. But then Zephyr saved us."
That's what plucky delivery girl Sparrow's been told all her life. But only one person seems to properly benefit from this story: Axel Brodie, Boss of Zephyr, the only supplier of clean air. And that makes Brodie literally the most important man alive. Which poses a massive problem for Sparrow when her genius inventor friend Miriam Fenn invents a way to solve it all and only Axel stands in their way. Sparrow must utilise every skill she has and work with old enemies to storm his stronghold and deliver her most important package ever.
Another victory for Alastair Chisholm, his latest book is an amazing work of literature, set in a world where the very air is toxic and every breath is paid for. This beautifully written adventure is a great story which takes hold of your imagination. A classic what if of post climate change catastrophe.
