Hi everyone! Welcome to my website where you can find out a little more about me and my books. 

My 2026 publication is my debut picture book:

CHI CHI THE PANDA which comes out 4th June 2026 with Hachette. It's illustrated by the brilliant Jo Lindley whose made a very cute panda indeed! 

NATE YU'S BLAST FROM THE PAST is my new novel (and I can't wait for you to read it! If you're a fan of my novel Danny Chung Does Not Do Maths or BBC 's GHOSTS, then you might  like my new one! It's about Nate who thinks he's not Chinese enough, it's about forgotten histories and a family secret. For a long time, I'd really wanted to write about the Chinese Labour Corp in the First World War, but wasn't sure how to do it. I believe this is the first U.K. children's novel to talk about the subject. This is my kid's favourite novel (that I've written) - so I reckon it must be pretty good! It's already had brilliant reviews from readers and was one of the 'Best Children's Chapter Books of the Summer' (The Observer). 

Watch me on Authors Live (BBC Scotland) 

I'm best known for my debut novel DANNY CHUNG DOES NOT TO MATHS (aka Danny Chung Sums It Up in the U.S.) which won the Jhalak Children's and YA Prize AND the Branford Boase Award 2022! It was also one of the last books to be shortlisted for the Blue Peter Book Awards 2022 (which sadly have now ended) and the Diverse Book Awards 2022. My second novel KEEP DANCING, LIZZIE CHU was one of Kirkus's Best Middle Grade Books of 2023!
