Final Storm final front cover.jpg

Third novel in Grimsdon trilogy for Deborah Abela

July 16, 2019

Congrats to our wonderful ARA Deb Abela on the publication of her junior novel

Final Storm

Published by Penguin Random House, in paperback

For ages 8 - 12

After surviving for three years in the flooded city of Grimsdon, Isabella and her friends uncovered the terrible secrets of New City, and now face a new world of robots, wild weather and a mysterious evil mastermind.

This is the third book in what Deb calls her ‘cranky’ climate trilogy, which she wrote because governments aren’t taking care of the planet. The other popular novels are Grimsdon, New City and now, Final Storm.

Here are the YouTube links:

Final Storm is bound to be a hit-with-a-message like the first three - congrats again Deb!
