THE BOOK OF HOPES

It was a joy to contribute to this beautiful anthology, edited by the very amazing Katherine Rundell. 

My story is called ‘A Dog in Time.’ I hope very much that you enjoy it.

GORGEOUS NEW WHITE GIRAFFE SERIES COVERS

Martine and Ben, the original wildlife detectives, have been brought brilliantly to life by illustrator, David Dean, on all five covers of my White Giraffe series.

Hope you love them as much as I do.

AUTHORS4OCEANS

Fifty of the UK’s best-known children’s authors & illustrators, including Michael Morpurgo, Katherine Rundell, Chris Riddell, Jacqueline Wilson, Jackie Morris and Lauren St John have launched AUTHORS4OCEANS, a campaign to urge the book industry and readers to ditch the single-use plastic destroying our seas. St John came up with the idea for the campaign when she ordered a drink in a bookstore and it came with a plastic straw. She says: ‘It occurred to me that there are hundreds of bookshops and schools handing out plastic bags, straws and bottles daily. On my own, there wasn’t a lot I could do about it but I thought an alliance of children’s authors might have a voice on the issue. And if publishers, booksellers and our readers joined us, together we could make a real difference.” For more information visit: authors4oceans.org
