Although I've read them before, am restarting Philip Reeve's Mortal Engines series. They blow all similar books out of the water, and am convinced that once the kids get Harry out of their system, then this series will enjoy a second and massive coming. The series is set in a post-post apocalyptic future; cities can move on giant traction set ups, and eat up other cities, or of course, get eaten; Reeve's call this Municipal Darwinism. Superb stories, characters and settings.
