The Urban Outlaws must get the antidote to a deadly virus in the final book of this high-tech, action-packed series for fans of Robert Muchamore, Anthony Horowitz and Alex Scarrow
Peter Jay Black loves gadgets, films and things that make him laugh so hard he thinks he might pass out. He went to Arts University Bournemouth and a career in IT followed. One day, a team of super-skilled kids popped into his head and, writing in a Hollywood apartment, he brought them to life. Peter lives in Dorset and in his spare time he enjoys collecting unusual artefacts like Neolithic arrowheads, ancient Egyptian rings and fossilised dinosaur poo. Urban Outlaws has been shortlisted for the Leeds Book Award, the Bolton Children's Fiction Award, the Northants Book Award and the Stockton Book Award, and longlisted for the Redbridge Children's Book Award.
The heart-stopping action starts on page one and doesn’t let up
until the final sentence – and not even then. Whatever you do,
don’t pick up this book and begin reading just before you have to
go out for a dentist’s appointment or tea with Great-Aunt Mabel –
putting the book down mid-read could seriously damage your
health
*Praise for 'Urban Outlaws', The Bookbag*
This is one of those books that you will have to prise from kids’
hands to stop them reading ... Every chapter is full of great
action sequences, peril for our team of heroes and great uses of
high tech gadgets, so readers will find themselves flying through
the story at a frenetic and almost heart-bursting pace
*Praise for 'Urban Outlaws', Book Zone for Boys*
The mysterious world of hacking, viruses, and supercomputers is
made surprisingly accessible, thanks to the extraordinary skills of
our unorthodox vigilantes. It’s also jam-packed with enough crazy
stunts and heart-pounding action to make James Bond proud!
*Praise for 'Urban Outlaws', Kids' Book Review*
Packs in a lot of action that kids will gobble up with gusto … Many
chapters filled with exhilarating drama, clever dialogue,
descriptions of cool gadgets, and characters who may be young but
who display strong senses of social responsibility. A thrilling
tale of a Robin Hood for the iPod generation
*Praise for 'Urban Outlaws', Kirkus*
Robin Hood meets the twenty-first century in Urban Outlaws, a heist
story full of action, suspense, surprises, but most importantly,
heart
