In the run-up to release day for The Great Fox Revealed, I visited twenty-three schools. First, I travelled across Devon with the Appledore Book Festival, then around the North West with Reading Rocks. I met thousands of pupils and signed over a thousand books.
Advanced copies of The Great Fox Revealed are now being sent out before the release on the third of October! It has another stunning cover by Flavia Sorrentino and here is the blurb:
Flick is a magician out of tricks. Every attempt to find her father has failed. Now the police have accused him of stealing the Crown Jewels – and they need Flick to work out how he did it.
Flick and Charlie travel to the abandoned mine where her father is believed to be hiding. Hot on their heels are several of their old foes, as well as master illusionist the Great Fox. It’s a race to uncover the deadly secret hidden in the maze of tunnels – but who will get there first?
I’ve visited nearly 100 schools (both physically and virtually) over the last few months. These visits have included a packed few weeks around World Book Day, large-scale virtual events with Lancashire, Hampshire, Newcastle, Cheshire and Somerset library services, and individual virtual visits at schools from London to Edinburgh. If your school would like a visit then please get in touch here:
Walker Books have unveiled the new cover for The Great Fox Revealed and it’s an absolute stunner. Flavia Sorrentino has done it again (https://www.flaviasorr.com). The details of the mine, the Crown Jewels, and the playing cards are all exquisite. Here it is in its full glory.

Now the police have accused him of stealing the Crown Jewels – and they want Flick’s help to work out how he did it.Flick and her best friend, Charlie, travel to Cornwall, where they believe her father may be hiding in an abandoned museum of magic. There they find master illusionist the Great Fox, also hot on the trail. But something else is hidden at the heart of the museum – the Bell System, the most dangerous magic trick the world has ever seen.
At the same time, The Great Fox Heist features in this year’s Children in Read auction in aid of BBC Children in Need.
The young readers of Cornwall have voted The Great Fox Illusion the winner of the 2023 Kernow Youth Book Award!
“KYBA (Kernow Youth Book Award) was set up in 2007 when a group of Cornish Librarians identified that most book awards for young people were books selected by adults with very little input from the young people that were reading the books. We therefore wanted to give the young people of Cornwall a voice in what they chose to read and handed the decision making over to them!”
It has also been listed for the 2024 Fantastic Book Awards. Now school pupils across the country will get to read each one of the shortlisted titles and vote for their favourite. The winners will be announced next year.
The Great Fox Illusion is going to get yet another translation, and this time it will be into Greek! It will be published by Patakis Publications.
