Reek is a BookTrust Bookbuzz Book!
I'm really excited to reveal that REEK, my sci-fi adventure story from Barrington Stoke, has been selected as one of the BookTrust Bookbuzz books for 2025!
The Bookbuzz scheme encourages young readers to choose and keep a book of their own, from a wide range of genres, styles and content types. Here's what they had to say about their selection process.
And here's what they said about Reek!
“Set against the backdrop of a climate catastrophe, this gripping dystopian thriller is oppressively atmospheric as it depicts a reality where if you can’t pay, you can’t breathe. With unexpected twists and turns, it will keep readers guessing until the final, brilliant concluding scenes.
“Presented in an accessible, dyslexia-friendly format but with thought-provoking themes and a real sense of jeopardy, this is ideal for reluctant readers who enjoy challenging subject matter.”
I'm delighted and honoured to be on this list alongside so many brilliant authors and illustrators. Thank you so much. Find out more about Reek here!
