The children's fiction market is incredibly hard to crack. With
all the other distractions out there, being able to write a book that appeals
to kids takes something special.
And Joe Craig and Anthony McGowan have that.
Joe Craig is the author of the bestselling Jimmy Coates
series. The first book in the series was one of the biggest selling children's
book debuts of 2005 in the UK ,
and since then his 'Jimmy Coates' novels have become a hit with young
action-thriller addicts everywhere, winning awards and inspiring 8-13 year-olds
to become keen readers. His tall tales, improvised stories, and surprising
theories about writing have enthralled and entertained audiences every bit as
much as his Jimmy Coates books.
Anthony McGowan is one of the most widely acclaimed
young-adult authors in the UK .
His books, including The Knife That Killed Me, Hellbent and Henry Tumor have won
several major awards, and been shortlisted for many more. He has also written
The Bare Bum Gang series for younger children, the hilarious Donut Diaries and
recently he was commissioned to write four Willard Price Adventures. His latest novel, Hello Darkness is a return to the darker, edgy fiction of his earlier novels. A psychological, plot driven novel, with unforgettable characters and some amazing twists.
