In the year 2320 the Great Disaster happened.

A nuclear war destroyed all the main towns and cities of the world. The water dried up and the world became one big desert. Then a plague came.

Welcome to Omak's world.

Omak rescues an old man from a pack of ravenous Snappers. The old man gives Omak a map as a reward. It's a map to unlimited petrol and oil, a dream come true in Omak's desert world.

But do dreams come true anymore? Is it more likely to be a nightmare?

Due to the richness of Jon Mayhew's bleak, dystopian landscape in the much-loved Death Road, we asked him to write another story set in the same world. And so we bring you Death Wheels. Note that this is not a sequel, and can be enjoyed as a standalone novel like all the other Teen Reads from Badger Learning.

With an invitingly creepy, modern cover and the look and feel of a 'real' book, all at a pared down word count of 7,000 with spread out text, this book can't fail to attract teenage reluctant readers with a lower reading age of 8-9.

Death Wheels is part of Teen Reads V – a brilliant series of ten books coming out in September 2016. Watch this space for more updates!

Jon Mayhew lives near Liverpool with his family. He has written numerous books including the award-winning Mortlock horror trilogy and the Monster Odyssey series. His other title for Teen Reads is Death Road which is set in the same world and has the same characters as this book.
