Floaters is a new limited edition Young Adult novel described by its author, and OICPJ Senior Lecturer, Craig Taylor as a, ‘heartfelt comic novel’.

It shines a light on the state of UK rivers, told through the eyes of a group of teenage swimmers who find themselves in the sh*t.

Author Craig Taylor has teamed up with Surfer’s Against Sewage donating 50% of all sales to the charity.

There are only 215 copies of this edition being printed, which Craig works out as, ‘one copy for each mile of the Thames’.

Floaters goes on sale on 1 March 2026 here.

Read more about it in this article by Emma John in The Guardian.
