''Quake City

A page-turning epic story! Deryn Pittar crafts a top-notch sequel to The Carbonite's Daughter. This is a must-read if you enjoyed Calista's journey as a young woman navigating post-apocalyptic New Zealand.'

Denise Fitzpatrick,New Zealand-based author

'A gripping tale set in the hills of the South Island of New Zealand with characters who live in an imaginary future, combined with the simplicity of 200 years ago.

A thought-provoking story for young readers.'

Lyndsay Campbell,New Zealand based author

'Another great story!

Set in futuristic NZ the dystopian setting is totally plausible for a Post Nuclear dawn. The characters were believable and the storyline captures the struggles and triumphs in their journey. This second book follows on from The Carbonites Daughter and completes Calista's story.'
