Author's Bio
Chris grew up in Great Missenden, where the rule is that you must become obsessed with Roald Dahl. He met Dahl at the tender age of five, who begrudgingly assented to sign a copy of the Giraffe, the Pelly and Me, which Chris still treasures. The writing seed was planted.
Reviews
“An enjoyable read and if you liked Charlie Higson’s Young Bond series or indeed “The Maze” or “The Hunger Games” then I do not believe you will be disappointed. The ending certainly sets up the probability of a sequel for which I certainly will look out for.”

Infectious storytelling – give it a go and ride the wave of sequels. Charlie Higson should be looking over his shoulder.
