Critics Review
I’ve just finished Embassy of The Dead and it’s amazing. Like an early Neil Gaiman. I can’t wait to recommend it to all our young readers. It’s fantastic - Fayth, Librarian
Anarchic black humour … beautifully balancing gore and gentleness, creepiness and cackle-out-loud gags, it’s a splendid start to a ghoulish new series - GuardianPraise for MABEL JONES: Delightfully nasty, bonkers piratical fun. I laughed out loud! - Robin Stevens, author of Murder Most UnladylikeA uniquely wild and witty ride. If Lewis Carroll were writing for Monty Python, I imagine it might look something like this - Christopher Healy, author of the Hero’s Guide seriesAbout The Author
Will Mabbitt
Will Mabbitt has an overactive imagination. It used to get him in trouble but now it’s his job. His first book, The Unlikely Adventures of Mabel Jones, was shortlisted for the Branford Boase Award. He’s achieved little of else note, preferring to spend his time loitering in graveyards. He can also be found wandering the streets of Brighton in a daze. He is probably having an idea. He lives with his family, in Lewes, on the south coast of England.
