Bob vs the Selfie Zombies (2023)
(Bob, book 1)
Andy Jones
"I have three rules about writing for children: avoid zombies, talent competitions and time travel. Andy Jones has broken all three rules and yet somehow created a rip-roaring time travel comedy adventure. In the future, this book might actually save the world."
Monster Hunting For Beginners (2021)
(Monster Hunting, book 1)
Ian Mark
"A funny, fast-paced tale for young adventurers, with gags sharper than a dragon's front teeth."
