English Summary/英文概要: Milo, transformed into a luminous silver child keeps watch over the teeming City, now filled with children from all over the world. We meet Tanni and Parminder who lead the frightening Unearthers, children who are virtually human drills. But who is controlling them? Why are they draining Thomas of his beauty? Where is the Roar? And what is the significance of the mud dolls that Jenny makes? In an intense and page turning story, the destinies of these magical children unfold, as around them battlelines are drawn for the biggest fight ever between good and evil.

Grade 5 Up–McNish continues his clever blend of science fiction and fantasy. The Silver Child (Carolrhoda, 2005) saw six children drawn by some unknown force to Coldharbour, where they each discovered extraordinary abilities that would help protect them from an approaching danger known as the Roar. Now, children from every corner of the planet are descending on Coldharbour. With Milo–the silver child and one of the original six–protecting the others from the sky in his massive, angel-like form, the remaining five must keep the newcomers from new threats hidden deep in the Earths core. It is through the voices of Thomas, the healer, and Helen, the psychic, that McNishs story truly takes shape. Though the other characters can be a little flat at times, these two continue to move the action forward. For readers looking for something imaginative and distinctive, Silver City will not disappoint.–Lisa Marie Williams,
