Matt Haig’s first novel for young readers, Shadow Forest, won the Blue Peter Book of the Year award and the Gold Smarties Award. He is also the author of various adult novels, including the bestsellers The Last Family in England and The Radleys. Reviewers have called his writing ‘totally engrossing’, ‘touching, quirky and macabre’ and ‘so surprising and strange it vaults into a realm of his own’. His books have been translated into 25 languages. He lives in York and assures us he has never, ever been a cat despite the rumours he was once a rather grumpy ginger moggy named Jeffrey.
