Georgia gets straight A's at school, has been placed first in twenty six drone races and has a serious addiction to buying Japanese stationary. She plans to follow her older sister Sophie and become a doctor, but her worldview is shattered when tragedy strikes.

Julius lives in Info, a Nigerian state where half the population lives on less than a dollar a day. But he isn't one if them. His uncle has been state governor for more than a decade and his mother is the power behind that throne. He finds refuge in a derelict zoo with best friend Duke, but as two of them grow close, the world outside becomes more hostile.

Following two teenagers living very different lives, Arctic Zoo is an arresting thriller about protest, sexuality, mental health and flawed leadership, from the bestselling author of Cherub.

It's isn't easy to change the world but you've got to keep trying.
