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...

Loved the final Crook Haven boook by @joelarcanjo.bsky.social
โThe Thieves Revengeโ is a celebratory end to a wonderful series. Whilst the the perils are the greatest theyโve been, it revels in its found family and how that allows of the crew to be better. Great series/ Great ending

Very kind of you, Laura. You might've already seen, but it IS being turned into a TV show by the BBC ๐

Donโt want to give anything anyway but this is a heart-poundingly brilliant conclusion to the series. @hachettechildrens.bsky.social

Thanks Alison, that's lovely of you. Though I'm not sure me being (in)famous for teaching kids everywhere how to pick a pocket and deceive their parents is something you'd want to be associated with ๐ Then again, knowing the books Raven publish, you just might.

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.

March & April 2025 โ Rhyming Review Roundup
One of my favourite parts of writing my blog is writing the rhyming reviews for each book. Now donโt get me wrong, there are times when the words (and the rhymes) just arenโt coming and I curse mysโฆ

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 ๐

I wonder what 5 book series they're talking about here...๐
If there's a 16 - 19 year old actor in your life, this is their chance to audition for a lead role!

For my money, @joelarcanjo.bsky.social has created one of the best series of the last few years with the Crook Haven books. Can't wait to spend a bit of time with Gabriel and the crew again.๐

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 ๐

Lovely lazy Saturday. A stormy beach walk, followed by wallowing in @mogwai.scot music and reading Book 4 in the fab โCrookHavenโ series by @joelarcanjo.bsky.social.
The stakes have definitely risen. Love being back with this crew. Know a few kids who are desperate to read it when I finish.

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!

I have loved my latest visit to Crookhaven courtesy of NetGalley and @joelarcanjo.bsky.social
It is definitely the best one yet but after that ending, I am desperate for the next book already๐
