The Borrible Series by Michael De Larrabeiti (The Borribles #1 – #3)
Requirements: .MOBI Reader 1.1Mb
Overview:One of five children, de Larrabeiti was born in St Thomas’ Hospital and was mostly brought up in Battersea, South London. His mother was of Irish descent and lived most of her life in the Lavender Hill area of London; his father was a Basque from Bilbao and was often absent. In 1939 he was evacuated to Arundel in West Sussex, before returning to London in 1940, only to be evacuated again to Askern, a mining village near Doncaster in Yorkshire, in the winter. At the end of the Second World War he returned to London and, after failing the eleven plus, was educated at Clapham Central Secondary School. The teachers he had here, often men who had returned from fighting in the war determined to make a better world, were a great influence on de Larrabeiti, something he would later fictionalise in Journal of a Sad Hermaphrodite.
Genre: Young Adult, Fiction
The Borribles (#1)What is a Borrible? Borribles are runaways who dwell in the shadows of London. Apart from their pointed ears, they look just like ordinary children. They live by their wits and a few Borrible laws-the chief one being, Don’t Get Caught! The Borribles are outcasts-but they wouldn’t have it any other way….
One night, the Borribles of Battersea discover a Rumble-one of the giant, rat-shaped creatures who are their ancient enemy-in their territory. Fearing an invasion, an elite group of Borrible fighters set out on what will become known in legend as The Great Rumble Hunt. So begins the first of the three epic adventures in Michael de Larrabeiti’s classic trilogy, where excitement, violence, low cunning, greed, generosity, treachery, and bravery exist side by side.
The Borribles Go For Broke (#2)On the Great Rumble Hunt, Chalotte, a Borrible from Whitechapel, very nearly lost her life–and good friends had been left for dead–all because of the Rumble Treasure Chest. To Chalotte the treasure was evil and she had sworn never to go on another adventure. But when Chalotte and the other survivors discover that Sam the horse is in danger they know they have no choice–Borribles always help their friends. Their attempts to rescue Sam lead them into the second Great Borrible Adventure!
Across The Dark Metropolis (#3)Battersea was no longer safe for a Borrible. The Special Borrible Group—a secret section of the London police dedicated to finding Borribles and clipping their ears—was closing in. Driven on by the fanatical Inspector Sussworth, the SBG was determined to wipe them out once and for all. It was time to break out, escort Sam the horse to safety in Neasden, then return to the old Borrible life of independence and freedom. So began a perilous trek across the dark metropolis—a journey that would test the courage and cunning of the Adventurers to the limits.
