WRITER TALK (FOR YOUNG READERS AGED 9-12): TOM MITCHELL

TOM MITCHELL is mostly a dad, partly a teacher, and sometimes a writer. Growing up in the West Country, he settled in London after a brief interlude in the East Midlands. How to rob a bank was his first novel, written during the school holidays. He lives in the People’s Republic of Orpington with his wife Nicky and sons Dylan and Jacob. How to Stop the End of the World is an apocalyptically funny adventure for readers aged 9+, from the highly-acclaimed author of Escape from Camp Boring and When Things Went Wild.

Colin Coleridge is facing a long, boring summer holiday with NOTHING to do. But when he notices some weird markings outside his house, and some strangers acting VERY suspiciously in his neighbour’s garden, he decides to investigate.
