Juice

An exciting tale, a love story, a hymn to the beauty of the natural world and a call out to all of us to take care of it. Josie Lloyd, Sunday Times #1 bestselling author calls it "A thrilling, epic adventure that's also a prescient tale for our times. I could not put it down.' Nikki Sheehan, Award-winning author and writing coach says 'Peter Deadman is a striking new voice in YA literature and his debut, Juice, is an important addition to the post-apocalyptic canon, with a timely environmental twist. Highly recommended.'

It is thirty years after devastating environmental breakdown, and the world is thrown back to an age when juice (electricity) is rarely available. Our young hero Will, seventeen, and his girlfriend Leonie (an acrobat in a travelling circus) have to travel for hundreds of miles overland in search of Will's father, using the survival skills Will learnt as a child. Realising that the adults who lived through Devastation cannotdo so, it is their task to create a viable and sustainable future. Juice is an exciting tale, a love story and a hymn to the beauty of the natural world.
