About Us
- About us: In this brilliantly entertaining and zany novel, author Rob Badcock takes us on a roller-coaster ride through a Britain of the near future. The environment has gone crazy and most of the human race has decamped to a new planet billions of miles away. A few hangers-on, however, have remained, living in vast domed cities, towering above the ruins of the old ones. Outside the citidomes is a treacherous rainforest, a wilderness stalked by giant elephants and ruthless bounty hunters.
Rib Meskitoe - a fourteen-year-old student of Nanozoomology from Milton Keynes citidome - has run away from home and is working on a lottery till in Wigan. There he takes it into his head to steal a winning ticket worth 250 million dollars and suddenly he finds himself on the run, a fugitive in the rainforest with a price on his head. All he has is the money and an incomprehensible set of instructions from his oddball friend Kaddie...
Weird and wonderful, hilarious and exhilarating, Big Frog is a surreal trip into the future.
