'Brilliantly funny and clever.' The Bookseller
'Once in a while a children's book comes along that is so inventive, and witty, and different, that you want to hug it.' Minerva Reads 'Enormously fun, in the vein of Rick Riordan.' Stephanie Burgis, author of Kat, Incorrigible 'I'm not sure what I am most envious of - Tatum Flynn's incredible imagination or her hilarious sense of humour. The world building was astounding. A really great debut novel.' Serendipity Reviews 'Pitched somewhere between Douglas Adams and Terry Gilliam – irreverent, funny and touching.' Allan Boroughs, author of Ironheart 'Utterly original, darkly funny - really loved it!' Nigel McDowell, author of The Black North 'Ridiculously imaginative, with a sense of humour sharper than one of Dracula’s fangs! A snortingly funny debut.' writing.ie 'All the characters are hilarious and refreshingly unique... wrapped up in humour so sharp it could give you a paper cut.' Nikki Sheehan, author of Who Framed Klaris Cliff 'An incredibly imaginative world full of spikemoths, wererhinos, spooky forests and haunted amusement parks, to the point where I got ridiculously excited at any hint of going to a new place because I couldn't wait to see who or what lived there.' NK Traver, author of Duplicity |
THE D'EVIL DIARIES, a humorous fantasy for readers aged 9+, out
2nd April 2015 from Orchard Books/Hachette Kids
Twelve-year-old Jinx is hopeless at being evil. Which is a bit of a problem when you're Lucifer's youngest son. But when Jinx runs away from Pandemonium, the walled city he's lived in all his life, he bumps into dead girl Tommy - who's been sent to Hell for accidentally feeding her nasty uncle to a circus lion - and unearths a conspiracy that could up-end the entire underworld. Cue shenanigans involving carnivorous carousel horses, death-trap-riddled libraries and hungry quicksand. Now the fate of the realm rests in the hands of its most unlikely demon and a girl who shouldn’t be in Hell at all...
The sequel, HELL'S BELLES, is also out now.
