Description

The ice caps have melted. The coastal areas we once knew are gone, and only 'scavvers' now live in the flooded towns. The world has changed, but as 14-year-old Danni Rushton soon discovers, it isn't the first time...Living with her uncle after the tragic death of her parents, Danni's world is turned upside down when her aunt is assassinated. With her dying breath, she entrusts Danni with a strange, small rock. Danni must not tell a soul that she has it. But what is the rock for, and to what lengths must Danni go to keep it safe? This action-packed adventure takes the reader from the barren terrain of Greenland, to the flooded ruins of Cambridge, and on to a sinister monastery in Malta. In her effort to save her uncle and evade a power-hungry space agency, Danni discovers that friends aren't always what they seem, and a rock isn't always just a rock ...

Bought this for my son, but he didn't get a look in until I'd finished! Thrilling story, fascinating subject, and brilliantly written. Loved it! - R. Wilcox * Amazon *
It's a novel that grew on me with each page I turned, as the writing got stronger and stronger, gathering pace with a satisfying conclusion - Sarah Potter, Goodreads * Goodreads *
a very enjoyable young adult SF story full of imagination and invention...but there iss [sic] more to this enjoyable book than simple adventure. The young protagonists are conflicted, beset by moral as well as physical dilema and this is nicely handled, and bravely resolved. - David Gullen, Goodreads * Goodreads *
a powerful cli fi novel. Read it and weep for our planet. Another important wake up call here. Bravo, Ms Kelly! - Daniel Bloom, Amazon * Amazon *
Fabulously fast-paced action with very likeable, feisty female main character, fantastic settings,and lots of thought-provoking climate change details, without ever being preachy. A fantastic read. - Nicki Sheehan, Goodreads * Goodreads *
Full of atmospheric descriptions of a flooded world, this is a real page-turner that moves effortlessly from the wastelands of Greenland to the academia of Cambridge. - Goodreads, Sue Yockney * Goodreads *
a captivating thriller... All the way through I was categorically gripped, and I am confident that anyone else who is around my age (10-14) would be too! Don't miss out on this sensational book!! - Hetty, The Guardian * The Guardian *
This book was just awesomeness contained inside 221 pages...If I've ever read a book that is easy to get into & then read through rapidly it's Red Rock, which is Kate Kelly's debut. Curious Fox once again managed to snap an author that has had writing talent from page 1 of their debut novel...You should definitely pick up Red Rock - Amy, Amy Bookworm * Amy Bookworm *
I would definitely recommend this intriguing book to the children in my life. Well done Kate. Looking forward to your next one! - S. Medae, Amazon * Amazon *
