Introducing Pushkin Children’s Classics! Reading is never more ✨magical✨ than in childhood. That’s why we’re bringing you the most thrilling and inspiring children’s stories from around the world.

Here it is! The cover of my next book, coming 24th September from @pushkinchildrens . #LYKEWISE 🪞 The artwork's by @natsmilliedraws , who also created the gorgeously creepy cover for #THIRST. Which is apt since, though it's not a sequel, #LYKEWISE takes place in the same world as that book, offering up more eerie folk horror for younger readers - though this story's aimed at older middle grade as well as teens. I love Nat's cover for this book. It's so organic, atmospheric and cinematic. 👌 Here's the blurb: Dunn Caulkner is no stranger to scary stories. The village of Harrowmere is plagued by danger and the unexplained: foggy boglands, eerie wraithlights and the terrifying legend of Grasping Jack. So how could Dunn ever have known that the darkest threat of all would come from a looking glass? No one questions the arrival of a travelling salesman practically giving away his mirrors. Nor do Dunn and his friends think there’s any harm in toying with a mirror ritual said to reveal your true self. For what could be dangerous about a reflection? But then the attacks and disappearances begin, and Dunn starts to grasp how very wrong he was… Huge thanks to @pushkinchildrens , @sarahodedina , @laurasusijn and all at Pushkin for making this happen. It's been an absurd amount of fun to step back into this thorny, creepy, twisty-turny folk-horror world. 🩸 You can pre-order #LYKEWISE from the usual places and your favourite bookshops. Simply google it and off you go. I hope you lyke it! ♥️
