It’s time to get serious about aliens. When they arrive they won’t be in spacecraft. They’ll travel at the speed of light, an encoded signal, a hive of intelligence. The question is who will hear them - and what do they want? A swarm is rising...

I’m delighted to share the beautiful cover of Justice #3 The Ghost in the Garden. It’s on 13th May from Hachette Children's Group and is Justice’s spookiest adventure yet

When the proofs of Alex Nobody were sent out they were accompanied by a very cool fortune teller (I loved these as a kid!) and postcard created by James McParland and Lucy Clayton, all based on the incredible cover design by Thy Bui 🕰️😍

I've got my hands on a finished copy of The Astonishing Future of Alex Nobody!! I'm walking in circles around my house holding it. It's a real book and it has SHINY FOIL! It's about time travel, friendship and embracing our talents even when they make us stand out @hachettekids

And this is out today! Justice Book 3: The Ghost in the Garden

Very happy with this! An amazing book I would have loved to have as a kid. 📚

Congrats Naomi Berwin! 🐺
