I have filled in the Books page at last, right up to my most recent 2009 publications. I’ll try to keep it up to date, and may add more details such as pictures and links in time… View the Books.
I’m logging on today to start work on the books section of the site, as I’ve finally got a few days with not much work.
Awards update – the CBC Children’s Choice Book Award in the US, for which I was nominated for 100 Most Dangerous Things on the Planet, was won (in the same category) by Thirteen by Lauren Myracle.
Sadly 100 Most Dangerous Things on the Planet didn’t win the Blue Peter “Best book with facts” award – but big congratulations to Anita Ganeri on her win for Horrible Geography: Planet in Peril.
Meanwhile, 100 Most Dangerous Things on the Planet has now been shortlisted for another award, the Children’s Choice Book Awards, in the US, announced on May 12.

100 Most Dangerous Things on the Planet (A&C Black) has been shortlisted for the 2009 Blue Peter Book Awards – in the category “Best Book with Facts”. This is one of the few well-known children’s book awards to feature non-fiction – three cheers for them. The winners are announced in March 2009. Of course, I haven’t got round to listing my books properly on my site yet, but you can check out the book at amazon.co.uk – or even better at amazon.com, where there’s a great review too.
Welcome to my new website! I have abandoned my old HTMLing ways as too time-consuming, and gone the way of WordPress. It will take some time to set up all the new pages, including listing all my books, as I hadn’t updated the old site for some time. For now, only some of the pages have content, but I hope to complete the site over the next few months. Meanwhile, please email me if you want to discuss new projects or have any questions.
