Blog postAn ace blog from pupils at Gillespie Primary School detailing how I met Carole Kendrick and ended up being interrogated by the management committee of Lab_13. It’s very well-written and funny. I am “a man on a mission, to be the greatest author of children’s science books in all of the Universe”!
It was also during this visit that I found my true calling – to become the Keeper of the Planets.

Blog postI love this blog from the girls and boys of Lab 13 at Gillespie Primary School, who were judging the entries for this year’s Royal Society Young People’s Book Prize. And… they chose my book Rebel Science as their favourite! Blush blush.
They said: “The other books are just about one thing. Rebel Science is set out nicely and is exciting to read.” Thanks guys!

Blog postIn this thoughtful and insightful piece, Isabel Thomas she proposes that biographies have the power to switch both girls and boys onto reading and science. She says “A human story keeps readers turning the page, but it also helps them to make an emotional connection with a subject.”

Blog post“If I tell people I research books for children using academic journals, they are surprised. Some think it’s overkill, others think it’s noble but amusing. It’s neither – it’s just how the job should be done. Children deserve the trust they place in us – authors, teachers, parents – to be respected and rewarded with truth.”

Blog postAnother wonderful review of Rebel Science, this time by the superhero team of Library Girl & Book Boy. LG&BB have found something important and not obvious about the “Dead Ends” – the road to discovery is not always as straightforward as it seems; also, in science, being wrong or getting your ideas a bit mixed up is part of the process and can lead to big breakthroughs.
I love the fact that LG&BB chose to show the marvellous Digestion Machine spread – it just happens to be6 years ago Read more -
