Cat is knocked down by a speeding fire truck whilst crossing 55th St and 3rd Ave in Central Manhattan. She wakes in a world made from all the books her grandfather used to read to her, peopled by some of the most memorable heroes of classic adventure fiction, brought vividly to life. Cat must earn their friendship and help as she begins an odyssey and epic quest to find the mythic Castle at the World's End. And the name of that distant, mythic, wave-tumbled fastness? It is, of course, the castle of Far Rockaway. If you enjoy reading good books; swashbuckling adventures with sword fights and pirates - then Far Rockaway is the book for you. Join Cat as she embarks on the journey of a lifetime. Far Rockaway has been longlisted for the Carnegie Book Award 2013.… (meer)

Loved the cover - especially the fact that it was the result of a competition, and loved the Metro design for the chapters. Have always had a soft spot for Far Rockaway so thought it was cool to have it as a location for a story. And was impressed by the way he wove the three stories into the main story. And that the protaganist was a girl but the stories are traditionally "boys" tales. (

I love it when a book takes me by surprise. I wasn't sure what to expect with this and as a result I was completely blown away. This is a fantastic story and told really well - it is so exciting and great to see a gutsy, feisty heroine who rescues herself! (
