FEATURED WORK

The Tale of the Grizzlygrim
This is a tale of how whispers can twist, and turn into monsters that hide in the mist. Have you heard of the Grizzlygrim? They say it has talons and fiery eyes. They say if you saw it you’d tremble before it! But, can we always believe what they say? This is the second book in my partnership with the brilliant Richard Merritt. It’s a story about the impact our words can have. We hope that, in an age where information is coming at us from all angles, the book will help support gentle conversations about the importance of critical thinking.

Felix and The Future Agency
Felix Green has never fitted in, mostly because people are weirded out by his ability to predict the future. When he is whisked away to join a top-secret government agency, hidden away in the heart of the London Underground, he finds himself using his magical abilities to protect the world from disaster.

How to Grow Magic: The Giant Mystery
The first chapter book in the How to Grow Magic series is out with Puffin Books now! We hope that children who’ve loved growing unicorns, dragons, mermaids and more with the picture books will enjoy this longer adventure. Mr Pottifer and Sarah find that something strange is going on with the magical plants in the primary school garden but will they solve this giant mystery? This highly accessible book has dyslexia-friendly font, cream paper and Steven’s glorious illustrations blossoming from every page!

As seen on CBeebies!
