Sunday Times Children's Book Of The Week
Operation Red Jericho by Joshua Mowll
This is not just an adventure story; it is a designer object. Written by a graphic artist, it includes detailed fold-out plans and cross-sections of ships and weaponry. It pretends to be a notebook and associated papers inherited by the author from his late aunt, giving an account of her adventures with her rebellious brother in their youth in the Far East in the 1920s, after their parents have gone missing.
