I had the absolute privilege to write an article for @booktrust.org.uk about how to get (and keep) boys reading. A subject I feel very strongly about. Have a read if you'd like: www.booktrust.org.uk/resources/fi...

Very kind of you, Laura. You might've already seen, but it IS being turned into a TV show by the BBC 😁

Here it is, @bbcstudios hugely talented cast of Crooks & Crooklings for the adaptation of Crookhaven!

I got to watch every audition, so trust me when I tell you that they are not only phenomenal actors but perfect for their roles.

I have waited over 2 years to make this announcement, but the news is FINALLY out: BBC Studios (@bbcstudios) are adapting Crookhaven as a TV series!

Gabriel & my whole crew of good-hearted crooks are coming to your screens soon!

Press release here: www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

Here is the beautiful cover for The Thieves' Revenge, the 5th & final book in the Crookhaven series! Join my crooked crew as they face off against the Nameless in an epic showdown

Designed by the brilliant Euan Cook, this is perhaps the CH book I am most proud of 🙌

Preorder: geni.us/Crookhaven5

I wonder what 5 book series they're talking about here...😉

If there's a 16 - 19 year old actor in your life, this is their chance to audition for a lead role!

Exactly 2 years ago, Crookhaven 1 was published. Since then, my book has been published in 15 countries, with more to come. I am so incredibly grateful that my crew of little crooks have had the chance to travel the world & meet kid readers all over. And we're not done yet 😉

📢 Crookhaven: The Impossible Fortress is out TODAY! 📢

I hope you all have a blast reading the penultimate book in the Crookhaven series. Because the final part is coming soon...and it's going to be EXPLOSIVE! 😈

I've never experienced a year with quite as many brilliant peaks and grim troughs as 2024. But I can't let it end without saying a big thank you to everyone involved in the Crookhaven series, especially you lovely readers. I'm so excited for you to read the final 2 books in 2025!

First post back here is:

📢 COVER REVEAL 📢

Designed by the incredible Euan Cook, I love Crookhaven: The Impossible Fortress cover so much because it uses all the colours of the moors. And features our favourite chaotic twins (which they'll approve of).

Out Jan 30th!

Preorder: geni.us/Crookhaven-4

If I could pick one passage that summed up the whole of my Crookhaven series, it would be this right here from Caspian Crook

First post!
Today, my first book comes out in my first language - Portuguese!
Portugal has always held a special place in my heart, so to have something I created be published in my mother tongue is a true highlight of this Crookhaven journey 🇵🇹 💚❤️
