Congratulations!

Woot! Out today! These Puffin 85th anniversary clothbound editions all look amazing. So thrilled that Pig Heart Boy is included. 😀 And a huge thank you to Adam Kay for writing the foreword to my book. Not gonna lie, his foreword made me choke up.🥹 randomhouse.app.box.com/s/7vyb08mrue98…

A fabulous read from ⁦Ross Montgomery⁩ - an exciting and moving adventure set in a believable fantasy world - highly recommended - and coming soon! ⁦Walker Books⁩

Three weeks until the publication of #SmallWonder, my latest adventure for kids! If you keep your beady eyes peeled next time you're in Waterstones, you might just see a sampler on their counter, with the first chapter plus some exclusive content - a small wonder if it's own!

Congratulations! Brilliant news!
