On the back of this thread, I got the opportunity to write about the desperate lack of books for teen boys in @thebookseller. Massive thanks to @mollyflatt for letting me write on an issue I'm hugely passionate about. Link:

Pals, are we ready to have the 'there is nothing out there for teen boy readers' discussion yet? Because the more I hear 'I can't find anything I like' from them during my school visits, the more I grow convinced publishing has forgotten about the post-Middle Grade boys.

Here is the beautiful cover for The Thieves' Revenge, the 5th and final book in the Crookhaven series! Join my crooked crew as they face off against the Nameless in an epic showdown. Designed again by the brilliant Euan Cook, this is perhaps the CH book I am most proud of 🙌.

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!

This new report by the CSJ is so incredibly disturbing. But I see it constantly in the schools I visit. 'We need more books for teen boys' is just the tip of the iceberg. This report is the iceberg:

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 😉
