*Great news! A BOY CALLED M.O.U.S.E, my big, big, big new novel for 9 to 12 year old readers, is now out in paperback with this brilliant new cover. The book is published by Bloomsbury and illustrated by Peter Bailey.

I love this new cover image as it shows brave bold Mouse high above the streets of the city, at the start of his adventures backstage in the world of the Victorian theatre.

Even more good news! A BOY CALLED M.O.U.S.E has been short-listed for the Historical Association’s “Young Quills Award”!
