I Am Wolf wins Peters Junior Fiction Book of the Year!

05 March 2025

I'm incredibly excited to say that my sci-fi adventure I AM WOLF is the joint winner of the Peters Junior Fiction Book of the Year!

An extract from the Peters website showing the cover of I Am Wolf and a description of the book, plus comments from Peters (included in fig caption) — “Imaginative world-building and gripping plot are boosted by strong, inclusive characters that engage the reader's sympathy and challenge feelings of worth and belonging throughout.”

This year there are TWO winners sharing the prize, and I'm delighted to see I Am Wolf sitting next to Tom Percival's The Wrong Shoes – what a couple!
