SCAREDY CAT, the fourth title in the Bigg School series is out TODAY! This time the year 7s of Henry Bigg Academy are off on a residential trip. Can secret ‘scaredy cat’ Ajay get through the three days unscathed? As always, my words are brilliantly brought to life by Jess’s hilarious illustrations.

I am not very good at Bluesky yet and don't know if anyone will see this but.... The Other Girl is out in May, which I can now say is 3 months away 🙌 I'm excited about this one: if you like train-based identity switch thrillers this might be for you... (and if you do see this hello and thank you)
