The Carbon Diaries 2017

It's 2017 and London is fighting for survival in the new carbon rationing era. As ever, Laura Brown is right on the front line, charting events with acerbic wit as Europe descends into student revolt, strikes and a bitter water war. These are revolutionary times, and it's down to Laura to deal with the big stuff – how to keep her love life under control, her parents chilled out and that dream of world domination with her band, the dirty angels, alive.

A gripping story for older children, this second instalment of Laura's diaries chronicles her struggle to stay sane in a world on the edge of madness.
