About this title

About the Author:

Pete Johnson's first novel for the 9-12 age group, THE GHOST DOG, was voted winner of the Young Telegraph Fully Booked Award and the Stockton Libraries Children's Book of the Year - an accolade he earned for a second time for THE CREEPER. The awards success has kept on coming with Sheffield Book Award and The Brilliant Book Award wins for his VAMPIRE series. In 2013 the brilliant sequel, MY PARENTS ARE OUT OF CONTROL, was shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Prize. Born in Winchester, Pete studied English at Birmingham University and went on to try a variety of jobs before teaching English and Drama at a secondary school in Buckinghamshire. It was there that he wrote his first novel for teenagers, SECRETS FROM THE SCHOOL UNDERGROUND, drawn from his observations and reflections on his students. The book became an immediate hit. Pete's novels have achieved global success and he is now published in 24 translations. He has visited Germany and Belgium to meet his European readers and visits schools and libraries all over the UK. He inspires a special loyalty among his readers and believes that 'one of the best things an author can do, is show the reader he, or she, is not on their own.' For thousands of readers, Pete Johnson's books have done just that. Pete’s short novels for reluctant readers published by Barrington Stoke continue the laughs with several funny titles, including 2014’s SIX HOURS.
