Cloud 109

Cloud 109 is a graphic novel written by the celebrated children's author David Orme, which centres around three teenagers, Gina, Cary and Rabby who spend much of their time on line in a virtual world called Cloud 109 as opposed to the real world they are obliged to inhabit which is drear and dystopian in the extreme.

Gina is sharp and intelligent and arguably the strongest of the threesome, she's confined to a wheelchair in real life but this certainly doesn't hold her back and her street savvy is frequently indispensable. Cary is a bit of a nerd and obsessed with computers with his enthusiasm for embroiling the trio in new games often leading to near disasterous consequences, while Rabby is the action hero, sporty, very reliable but perhaps a little unimaginative.
