Toby: I would like to become a detective like Rory Branagan – would you like to be one or would you rather stay an author?

Be bold, be curious, be DETECTIVES! The first book in this hilarious crime-fighting middle-grade detective series reads like an extended graphic novel for aspirational readers and devoted fans of diary-style fiction.Mark: Thank you! I’m glad you liked it. It was very strange – the story kind of wrote itself. When the idea popped into my head I pretty much knew everything about it. That’s never happened before, trust me! Really, I think that having Charlie as a character is what enabled that to happen – you don’t know whether to laugh with him or give him a cuddle because you feel sorry for him! Liz: Tom is based on ME. I was very like him in some ways – I liked doodling too. I drew lots of pictures and he just looked like a Tom. Be bold, be curious, be DETECTIVES! The story of Rory Branagan continues and this time there is a canine caper to be solved.

Death: Book 5 (Rory Branagan (Detective)) The Leap of Death: Book 5 (Rory Branagan (Detective))

Toby: I have only just started reading books by myself and your books make me want to read more – have you got any advice for people like me when they are choosing which books to read? Zach: I’ve just run a Readathon and really enjoyed being a Readathon ambassador for my school. Do you have any messages for children running Readathon? Goods that by reason of their nature, cannot be returned - (Items such as underwear, where the 'hygiene patch' has been removed, or cosmetics where the seal has been broken).A fitting farewell, still funny, acute, and positive in its view of human nature even in its 37th episode. Mark: I’ve always wanted to write. It was the only thing that kept me quiet at school! I started taking it seriously when I became a teacher, and found myself constantly writing stories and plays for the children in my class. Liz: I think I’m still learning how to do both to be honest. For me the words and pictures go together – but I’ve been drawing more than I’ve been writing.
