Laura Brown's family survived the first big London flood - just - but two years later and the situation has deteriorated seriously - and throughout Europe. Can Laura keep the dirty angels together? Can she keep them alive? Can they overcome the Government?
Not quite as good as the first Diaries, perhaps a bit too extreme in places, but it certainly helps the reader to understand the situation facing many refugees throughout the world, and for that, a worthwhile book.

The Carbon Diaries 2015 by Saci Lloyd
Just realised that I've missed out two books I've read recently. The Carbon Diaries are set in the not too distant future when climate change has become even more problematic and the Government has decided to take drastic steps. Everyone has a carbon card - you can only use so much carbon per month, and if you use up your ration, well, no more transport, hot water or electricity for you until the end of the year. Of course, there is a black market, and the stress of loving more simply causes a lot of friction within the family, but eventually the community pulls together - but what will happen when London is flooded?
