NYT bestselling children's author 🏴 DRAGONBORN out NOW! 🔥 ORPHANS OF THE TIDE 🐋 THE SECRET OF THE MOONSHARD 💫
Oxford, UK
Joined December 2013
I realised today that it's 10 years since I first doodled a whale on a rooftop, and 5 years since Orphans of the Tide was published. I can’t quite believe that I still receive letters from readers about it, and am so grateful to the teachers&librarians who champion it to this day

"Come for the exceptional writing and stay for the talking dragon skulls, aerial battles and secret cities. Dragonlore with a difference." Dragonborn is the Times Children’s Book of the Week!!! Absolutely floored to see it there in print. https://t.co/ayDzOFS25r

Loved hearing @Struan_Murray tell about the oddly dressed “dragon scholar” met in a line for ice cream who inspired DRAGONBORN & look forward to reading it! Thx for hosting Struan on the Fall Preview, @penguinrandom

@PrimarySchoolBC @Struan_Murray @PuffinBooks A2: for me I think what would teach the children the most would be how the others reacted and supported Alex. Power of friendship and showing kindness to others who are struggling or not coping etc.

@PrimarySchoolBC @Struan_Murray @PuffinBooks A2b. This book would be great for promoting resilience and encouraging a child to step out of their comfort zone. I love the support Alex has from other characters and the encouragement they give to her to keep on trying. #PrimarySchoolBookClub
