Such an honour to see that @booktrust.org.uk have selected #TheDayMySchoolExploded as their book of the day today :)
This book features a foster family, an unexploded WWII bomb and a competition with a real once-in-a-lifetime prize!

Just saw this floorplan on RM and it made me smile. A handy little room for keeping your to(e)rags!

Hey Louie! A successful schools tour, and hearing that my latest book charted at number 4 in the independent bookshop chart made me grin from ear to ear :)

After a lovely book launch (upset a little by some casual homophobia...) my book, The Day My School Got Famous, ended up at number 4 in the overall chart of Independent bookshops! Dead chuffed.

Hi Louie! My good news is that my latest book came out yesterday 😁 I'm currently sitting in my car eating a packed lunch between two school visits 👍 #authorlife

I have a book out today!
#TheDayMySchoolGotFamous is an EXPLOSIVE illustrated comedy about the exciting discovery of an unexploded WW2 bomb under a school playground. (But it's really about kindness and family and fostering and teamwork). I'd absolutely love you to buy or borrow it soon!
