My new book for children, The Truth Pixie, is out now. It went straight into the Sunday Times bestseller list so thank you to everyone who has bought it already. It’s a book I wrote to be a comfort guide for kids through their more worried moments. Here’s a page from the book. 
I am so thrilled that I’m on the Supersavers National Book Awards shortlist for Author of the Year! More details are at www.nationalbookawards.co.uk.
Notes on A Nervous Planet has been shortlisted for a non-fiction Books Are My Bag Readers Award! More information on this wonderful award can be found here.
