If World Book Day is like Christmas Day for authors, then the present I'd most like to find under the #WorldBookDay tree is a library in every school, a school librarian there to run it, and real funding to allow them to stock it properly. We need to invest in our young readers.

If you were offered a six-figure advance to write a stocking filler book on *anything* and the only condition was it had to rhyme with your surname, what would your book be called? (I reckon mine would be Edge's Hedges: A Life Told in Topiary...)

The Longest Night of Charlie Noon is published in North America tomorrow. It's a story about finding your way in the darkest of times and the power we all have to change the world. I really hope readers there enjoy it.

When I think back to my earliest memories of childhood reading, the Meg and Mog books shine bright. Thank you, Jan Pieńkowski.

@neilhimself Thirty years on now from bunking off school to get my comics signed by you and realizing that I wanted to be writer, thought you might like to see the trailer for my new book, The Infinite Lives of Maisie Day. Thanks again for the inspiration.
