'The city of the future,' proclaim the billboards.

But if you're an orphan, like Cosmo Hill, you have no future. Sent to the Clarissa Frayne Institute for Parentally Challenged Boys, Cosmo spends his days testing highly dangerous products.

The average life span of an orphan in the Institute is fifteen years.

Cosmo is fourteen.

Finally Cosmo is saved - by the Supernaturalists, a group of teens who share his ability to see Parasites who drain the life from injured and dying humans. But they're not the only ones hunting the Parasites; soon Cosmo and his new friends discover a horrifying secret that will change all their lives forever.

***A spectacular graphic-novel adaptation of Eoin Colfer's megaselling The Supernaturalist.***

*** Perfect for fans of ARTEMIS F0WL, THE MATRIX, BLADERUNNER with a dash of GHOSTBUSTERS thrown in!***

Reviews

A rousing, well-executed piece of fiery pulp adventure ****

—— SFX

A cracking fantasy-tinged Wild West yarn...hot stuff

—— Financial Times

A constant hit ever since Martin the Warrior first took up arms against his foes

—— Scotsman

There are quests and riddles; cunning treachery and chivalric derring-do; and, in a feature that became a hallmark of the entire series, groaning boards spread with sumptuous feasts, lovingly described

—— New York Times

The combination of a completely imagined world full of domestic detail...with a strongly created mythology to underpin them, big-scale plots and Jacques's rolling prose quickly turned Redwall into a leading international brand in children's books

—— Guardian

Written long before Harry Potter and Twilight burst into the mainstream, Jacques's Redwall series offered up endless adventure and complex, sympathetic characters

—— Boston Globe

The Tales of Redwall, adventurous battles between good and evil set in a world of mice and squirrels and foxes, have captured the imaginations of millions of children (and adults) across the globe

—— Scotsman

The Knights of the Round Table with paws

—— Sunday Times
