THE SUPERHERO
by Sophie Swithinbank

Due to a climatic crisis, the planet is blanketed in ice. Nature is out of whack and London is experiencing its share of the madness. This is no longer a city where the most dangerous animal is a city fox. Penguins meddle with recycling, while mammoths roam the streets, lost and hungry. Humans of a rare blood type (AB minus) have evolved into Superheroes and join the Right Place Right Time Super Troop to protect those who are vulnerable. Amongst this cold, harsh and irreversibly dangerous environment, fourteen-year-old Kate falls in love with a local Superhero, only to find he is not quite what he seems…

Join Kate and her mammoth friends to discover the truth behind being a Superhero.
