City of Rust: an out-of-this-world sci-fi adventure!

Product Information

Earth is set into 3 classes - the upper class lives in Glass City, the poorest live in Boxville and then there are the Junkers - people who mine the trash in space to trade goods with Boxville and others.

City of Rust has been shortlisted for the Dudley Children’s Book Award, The Weald Book Award, and The Tower Hamlets Book Award. Ever since her father gave her an old telescope at the age of eight, Gemma has been obsessed with space. Railey is a fantastic, gutsy, impulsive character whose quick tongue often gets her into trouble, and her skill as an engineer does a great service to encouraging women and girls with an interest in STEM subjects. But their passion for racing isn’t as straight-forward as it seems, and when they clash with the Junkers – space-dwelling junk salvagers – the skills they possess will be required in a life and death fight with a junk bomb and a vengeful mob that would gladly watch it wreak devastation.

Their bickering sibling-like bond was so special, and I even teared up at a few moments because of it! We have drone races, bounty hunters, androids, and an old trusty spaceship that constantly requires work… There are gadgets galore and oodles of tantalising details for sci-fi and STEM fans alike.

The book involves the dream of winning drone races but, on having this crushed, something far worse emerges.Alors oui, c’est un mix entre Wall-E et Star Wars, mais ça n’a pas suffit pour me donner envie de continuer ma lecture jusqu’au bout. But when a bounty hunter crashes their biggest race yet, the pair are forced to flee to the feared Junker clans who mine the rubbish orbiting the Earth. They’re best friends, companions, and they love racing drones together in their container-constructed city of Boxville.
