Jen and her father are making their way across a deserted world after a technological collapse brought civilization as people knew it to an end. The Flood took out all all technology, but also many people who were connected to a central information hive. Those who are left behind must find each other and build a new life. But Jen's father isn't related to her by blood – he is a human-appearing AI, a glitch in the system, and a secret that must be kept, even from those she wishes she could trust...

A thrilling and thought-provoking sci-fi adventure that's shot through with humanity. A great read. -- Christopher Edge
A tender novel about humanity, family and whether it is the people who create new technologies who are dangerous, rather than the technology itself. * The Bookseller, March Children's Previews *
What could be a frightening dystopian topic is handled in a moving and thought-provoking manner for young readers. From its gripping first line - 'Tell me again how the world ended' - immediately setting the scene, to the final thrilling climax, this book will open young readers' minds to some big philosophical questions about what it means to be human, whether machines can learn to have feelings and how we treat those who are different to us. * Children's Books Ireland Inis Magazine *
Featured, The Bookseller Ireland Spotlight * The Bookseller *
a really thought-provoking exploration of just how far we as the planet's dominant species should go in our quest for a better life [...] artist Steve McCarthy's glorious cover and gorgeous chapter heading illustrations make this an enormously tempting read. * World's Smallest Library *
