About the Book

A middle-grade book breaking all the rules, inviting readers to zig-zag across the page between the funny stories and the footnotes. Traditionally, once a book is published, the author’s role is over.* The book belongs to the reader after that, and it’s up to you to decide what the stories are about. Rob Walton is having none of it. He has insisted on popping up throughout this book with further thoughts and facts.** We, the publishers, recommend that you ignore his nonsense and focus exclusively on the stories. And what stories they are! If you like horses, chocolate and time capsules, or have a passing interest in libraries, supply teachers and Lincolnshire, this is absolutely the book for you. Well done for finding it, and we hope you enjoy it very much. Just remember: don’t read the footnotes! * As far as the text is concerned, anyway. We of course insist on them doing tv appearances, red carpets etc, to promote the book. ** All incredibly true and triple-checked with various sources.

About the Author :
Rob Walton is a writer, performer and teacher from Scunthorpe, now based in Whitley Bay, where he writes short fiction and poetry for children and adults.

Reena Makwana is a London-based illustrator who creates illustrations using drawings, embroidery and print. Her work is influenced by the city, characters, creatures, social past and present.

Reena has illustrated a number of titles for The Emma Press, including 'The Untameables' by Clare Pollard, 'The Fox's Wedding' by Rebecca Hurst, and 'Pilgrim' by Lisabelle Tay. reenamakwana.com Twitter: @ReenaMakwana Instagram: @reena.makwana
