The Flow

The Flow is a mystery story for children aged 11 and upwards. The heroine, Lexi Drachmann is growing up in Oxford, but an Oxford now controlled by a religious cult. The cult has destroyed all the books and instead provides a digital information system, The Flow, to the population. Lexi has always thought the Flow gave her everything she needed - comedy clips, homework facts and music downloads. But then she meets a group of disillusioned young people who tell her that there is something wrong with the facts on the system. When a lethal epidemic breaks out and people she knows start dying, Lexi agrees to help find out what the cult is keeping from them. And in doing so, she also makes some startling discoveries about her family and herself.
The Flow is the first part of a trilogy.
