In 2015 I began work on the 5 part series Pixel Raiders written jointly by TV presenters Bajo and Hex (Steven O' Donnell and Stephanie Bendixsen). The books, aimed at kids 8-12, are heavily illustrated chapter books designed to entice kids from screen to the page.
"Rip and Mei are trapped inside a brand-new virtual-reality game. At first it seems fun–they must build a shelter, find food and work out what to do with fart flowers–gross! But soon they realise if they don't play the game and find the way out, they'll be stuck... forever."
