REPTOSWITCH IS NOW OUT!!!  
 
The second SWITCH series goes all scaly... yes... 'PETTY POTTS is BACK! And this time it's herpetological!' (Ah go on, look it  
up - you know you want to!)  
 
 
 
Josh and Danny are still getting SWITCHed into creatures... only this time they're a bit higher up the food chain. Get ready for some whacky, fast paced, cold-blooded, death-defying adventure!  
 
And Flumpywhumpies. And DiddlyDeeDees.

CALLING ALL INSPIRATIONAL TEACHERS!  
 
Would you like to spend a day with me and fellow children's author Mark Robson - and learn some tricks which will make your pupils BEG to get a story writing lesson?  
 
The MARK'S & SPARKES seminar - GET A WAY WITH WORDS - is at The Rose Bowl (home of Hampshire Cricket Club) near Southampton on Monday 20 February.  
 
 
 
We have seats available for teachers, librarians, heads of literacy and anyone else involved with inspiring young people to be the bestselling authors of tomorrow.  
 
Join us for fun and games and leave with a head full of exciting ideas and a goody bag full of brilliant books and posters for your school.  
 
For more information click on EMAIL (bottom right) and ask! And to find out what other teachers thought of our first seminar in Daventry last year (see above), click HERE  
 
FESTIVAL FRENZY  
BRING IT ON!  
 
Happy February! It's a month of parties and festivals for me, so I can't wait! I'll be all over the UK, from Winchester, Petersfield and Oxford to Bishop's Stortford, Braintree and Manchester. If you're coming to the Essex or Bishop's Stortford Festivals I'll be delighted to meet you.  
 
MORE SHORTLISTINGS!  
 
...for Wishful Thinking, Unleashed and... me... oddly. More on this in NEWS (click link on the right).  
 
TWO NEW SPARKES BOOKS COMMISSIONED BY OXFORD!  
 
SOOOO excited! More on this in the Monthly Musiing (click link on the left).  
 
 
 
I'VE ADOPTED A BOOKSHOP!  
 
In these tricky times many bookshops are struggling - whether they're independents or big chains. The authors and illustrators at Trapped By Monsters (click the top right link for more info) wanted to show our support - and so we created  
 
 
 
For me, for 2011-2012, it's the Hayling Island Bookshop in Hampshire.  
 
 
 
So if you want to buy one of my books and have it personally signed to you you can click the link below and go through to Colin and Marie at the Hayling Island Bookshop and they will sort it all out. It may take slightly longer than places like Amazon... but only because I might be travelling to events around the UK. You'll rarely have to wait longer than a few days (unless you're on the other side of the world - then it may take a little bit longer!).
