Final Storm by Deborah Abela
Grimsdon, book 3. Penguin Random House Australia, 2019. ISBN:
9780143794462.
(Age: 10+) Highly recommended. Wow what a stunning conclusion to a
wonderful series. Isabella, Griffin and their friends have finally
settled into New City after surviving their time in a flooded city
in Grimsdon,
the first novel in the series, and discovering secrets in New
City, the second novel. In Final Storm, they
still face wild weather, ice storms, robots and evil. Isabelle
reconnects with someone from her past and her friendship with
Griffin is tested. Can the group overcome the hidden dangers of New
City?
Abela has called this her
'cranky' trilogy because Government were disregarding climate change
and her readers has responded enthusiastically to this series, with
Grimsdon and New City on YABBA shortlists since the
first was published in 2010.
Final Storm is exciting and will be loved by the series many
fans. There are many resources to support the series. Teacher's
notes are available, there is a Q
and A with Deborah Abela and a book trailer link.
