Enter a unique post-apocalyptic Britain in The Jicker Man by Ben Mears, a compelling story of courage, friendship and survival.
In a world ravaged by rising sea levels and nuclear war, street urchin Ebadiah is given an unexpected chance in life when two men recognise his intelligence and introduce him to their secret fight against mutated beings known as gawpers, creatures with mysterious psychic powers.
When his new mentors are called away to face a foreign invasion, Ebadiah must confront the threat himself. Living with a permanent limp, a damaged eye and little confidence, he may seem an unlikely hero – but with loyal friends and a faithful dog by his side, he could be capable of extraordinary things.
Combining steampunk technology, monsters and adventure with a heartfelt story of hope and courage, The Jicker Man is an imaginative post-apocalyptic read with memorable characters at its heart.
