REEK is a BookTrust Great Book!
The fabulous BookTrust Great Book Guide 2025 is now out – and I'm excited to reveal that my book REEK is one of the chosen books!
REEK was my first book for Barrington Stoke, who publish dyslexia-friendly, highly accessible and super readable books, and it's brilliantly illustrated by the amazing George Caltsoudas. I'm delighted to see it included in the BookTrust Guide of the top 100 books for all ages that BookTrust think kids will really love. It's in some amazing company!
BookTrust says:
“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.”
