Celebrate 25 years of Mortal Engines with Philip Reeve

About this event

2026 marks the 25th anniversary of Philip Reeve’s astonishingly imaginative Mortal Engines – the steampunk epic that has become a modern classic.

To celebrate this milestone, Scholastic Book Club Live is hosting a Q&A with Reeve, where he will discuss the enduring popularity of the Mortal Engines world as well as introducing Bridge of Storms, a brand-new prequel set a century before the original quartet. Filled with fresh characters, new locations, and the rich, inventive world-building readers adore, this is the perfect entry point for newcomers and a return to the Mortal Engines world for devoted fans.

Expect world-building, cinematic storytelling, the art of writing fantasy fiction, and the return of another thrilling, action-packed, city-eat-city adventure.
