Phoenix Burning

Author: Bryony Pearce

Toby, his father and the crew of the Phoenix have salvaged the all-important solar panels which they need to power their ship. But a vital element is missing – and the only place one might be found is on the island of Gozo, home of the reclusive Sunworshippers. Can Toby, with Ayla, daughter of their enemy Captain Nell, work together to steal the inverters? This is the sequel to Phoenix Rising where we were introduced to the dystopian world inhabited by Toby and his friends. Here the stakes are raised and the adventure takes on a darker character as Toby and Ayla face trials reminiscent of the Hunger Games. This makes for intense excitement which will delight those who have already met the Phoenix. However, stamina is required for the author does not stint on incident and the 400 pages are packed. There are many twists, turns and surprises before the reader reaches the end of this part of the journey. There is a danger that some may not make it, however it would be a shame not to be ready to follow Toby to the very end.
