Dear St.Raphaels,

I am writing to you to implore you to read the astonishing wonders of Marcus Sedgwick's FLOODLAND. This is one of the most adrenaline fueling,thought provoking and riveting book I've ever read. I t has a wide range of well rounded characters and when I read about them,I can barely breath.I know you love a good read,but if you have not read FLOODLAND I am afraid you don't know what a good read really is!

Firstly,we start with the most crucial component of every tale-it's story line!This touching story will grip you from cover to cover without even looking up.Set in a post-apocalyptic world of adventure,where the most part of Britain has drown in the salty sea water.Zoe is on a voyage over land and sea to find her long lost loving parents you had been lost a few years before.Will she find her adoring parents?

Next,we have the bizarre and well-rounded characters who may or may not be plotting to sgrag Zoe.Do you know what sgrag means? No? well you will have to read he book to find out. In Floodland,you never know who will come next.The first characters introduced were the gang who chased Zoe in the first chapter.Why? You will have to read the book to find out.they were all stranded on what was left of Norwich and they all wanted to escape the derelict island,but the last boat came years ago.Why? You will just have to read the book.The gang were out to get her!Well at least that is what she thought. Dooby is the leaders of the Eels was evil even though he he hid it very well.Zoe,the main character,is unique and she always makes you question everything about the novel.Also,she is a girl in an action book which is unusual as main characters in most action books are boys.Would you like to meet any characters?If so which one?Zoe is also a rolemodel for I think all girls who love to adventure.

Finally,we have Marcus Sedgwick's enthrawlling range of composition.He uses awide range of outstanding vocabulary.For example,'She turned the corner and her feet slipped from under her onto the wet ground' or 'She went sprawling'.

I hope you read Floodland because in my opinion it is the best book ever.
