Eww! They’re angry and bewildered, but what can they do? Can their spirit of rebellion turn to genuine activism when they meet gutsy boomer Barbara Bone, especially when she exposes MP Julian Coutts and the water company’s role in the sewage dumps? A mad plan evolves, to take revenge, but can JP, No Phone and Twix really pull off their unlikely eco-heist? Funny, fast-paced, and moving, Floaters captures the generational moment when youthful despair turns to fearless action ‘A coming-of-age revenge caper’, The Guardian Each copy hand-numbered, signed, and hand-named after a feature of the waterway associated with a numbered mile of the river.
