💫Come on everybody, off to Neverland! 💫

Absolutely thrilled to announce that we are writing a brand new series set in Neverland in collaboration with Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity, who Peter Pan creator JM Barie gifted the rights to in 1929💚 and the news is officially out in @_thebookseller and at London Book Fair!

What an incredible gift and honour to have the opportunity to be part of the Peter Pan legacy, partner with @greatormondst , and of course play in Neverland! Swipe to see some of our new Neverland author photos (thanks to @drewcommajames ) including one where we look like we are starring in a “selling tiny Wendy houses” reality show and to find out more about the series and amazing @simonkidsuk’s commitment to being the new official home for Peter Pan and Neverland publishing. We adore the wonderful team there and know the series is set to soar 💫💫 and just wait until you see the incredible cover art by @nichtlicht 🤩Actual magic!

We have LOTS more to share about this project and everything that has gone into it already but for now a hugethank you to @rachelpettybooks and the GOSH charity team for trusting us with such a beloved world, to our agent @clairewilson_agent who is always our greatest champion, and the incomparable @racheldenden who has publishing magic and fairy dust by the bucketful and knows how to make stories take flight💫🐉 💫🦇

This is such a dream project for so many reasons and we are so grateful for the opportunity - we hope you love THE NEVERLAND THIEVES 💫

🍭SWEET HUNGER announcement in @_thebookseller — which makes it feel official🍭 A very exciting way to start the week after a wonderful weekend sharing the title with readers in person at @yalc_uk 🎉

💜🩶A huge, extra sweet thank you to my @electricmonkeybooks editors for following me into the woods with this one. The amazing @sarah.levison who is truly a joy to work with, and wonderful @linshlovesbooks who I’ve worked with since 2017, across the SAM WU books to TWIN CROWNS and now SWEET HUNGER💜

❤️ Yesterday, May 9th, we celebrated our 11 year wedding anniversary with a walk in the woods with our daughters and with an extraordinary meal at @kol.restaurant — where @kevgtsang looked at the duck mole like it was his actual true love. I loved everything on the menu but have to shoutout the asparagus tamal and langoustine taco🦞🌮 Swipe to see us young and in love 11 years ago, and less young but still in love now — with each other and also with the food at Kol🧡
🌴Our wedding was in Palm Springs — and our rehearsal dinner was at a Mexican restaurant my family has been going to for more than 50 years, and we spent part of our honeymoon in Mexico so it felt very apt and special to celebrate our anniversary at such an amazing Mexican restaurant here in London❤️

📖 I was lucky enough to attend the opening reception for the @britishlibrary’s new immersive exhibition and it is all about FAIRYTALES and I of course absolutely loved it 😍 The night opened with a welcome speech and then a reading of a brand new Michael Rosen story written especially for this with illustrations projected all over the lobby. And then we were allowed to explore the exhibition and it was magical 💫 Combining beautifully crafted interactive set pieces (a princess and the pea bed with a slide! A magic mirror that asks you questions! And my personal fav — a gingerbread house from Hansel&Gretel) alongside incredible illustrations from modern fairytale retellings and concept art from film adaptations (like Disney Cinderella!) and priceless early bound editions of the fairytales we all know and love, this is an exhibition for all fairytale lovers, young and old and everywhere in between. I will absolutely be going back! Plus I saw @sanchitabds from one of the best London bookshops @childrensbookshoplondon and wonderful@mralextsmith who had some of his art featured.

Swipe through to see some of my favourites of the selected illustrations and bound editions 🤩 so many treasures!

And then we were allowed to explore the exhibition and it was magical 💫 Combining beautifully crafted interactive set pieces (a princess and the pea bed with a slide! A magic mirror that asks you questions! And my personal fav — a gingerbread house from Hansel&Gretel) alongside incredible illustrations from modern fairytale retellings and concept art from film adaptations (like Disney Cinderella!) and priceless early bound editions of the fairytales we all know and love, this is an exhibition for all fairytale lovers, young and old and everywhere in between. I will absolutely be going back! Plus I saw @sanchitabds from one of the best London bookshops @childrensbookshoplondon and wonderful@mralextsmith who had some of his art featured.

Swipe through to see some of my favourites of the selected illustrations and bound editions 🤩 so many treasures!

📚❤️📚2026 is the National Year of Reading and we are excited to go all in! As children’s authors and book lovers and parents of young children, we know the magic and power of books. It was a privilege to celebrate the joy and importance of reading at the @literacy_trust gala last week and to support the incredible work they do📚 And we are proud to go all in this year, and every year, to champion literacy and reading📚❤️🙌

#goallin2026

A gorgeous night at the @literacy_trust gala that raisedover £200,000 to fund the incredible work that they do bringing joy and life-changing benefits of reading to children and adults📚📚📚And it was extra special to be there as a guest author during the National Year of Reading! The night was full of inspiring speeches and readings, including one by @angiethomas, a spirited live auction, and moving testimonials about the power of books. The @premierleague is one of the NLT partners and supporters so as an added bonus we got to see and take a photo with the Premier League trophy which was very exciting 🏆and of course I had to scamper around taking selfies with the amazing authors and illustrators who were there to support☺️
And I am very sure that our table, the @simonkidsuk table, was the most fun one in the room🙌

💫Second star to the right and straight on till morning!

We cannot wait to share more about THE NEVERLAND THIEVES, the first book in a new Neverland set series we are writing in partnership with Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity, published by @simonkidsuk this September.

🩵Did you know Peter Pan creator JM Barrie gifted the Peter Pan rights to @greatormondst in 1929? Having the opportunity to do an official Neverland set story and be part of the this legacy is such a gift and knowing that this series will help support seriously ill children makes it extra special 🩵

💛We hope that this series is an exciting adventure for all young readers but we also wanted to take care to include some characters who have a link to GOSH — and as part of our research we did a tour of the hospital to fully understand the work they do and also so we could better picture any scenes set there.

💚THE NEVERLAND THIEVES opens at GOSH and is about Tom, a patient, Felix his best friend , and Daisy, who is the daughter of a doctor. The three meet some magical, mysterious creatures who you wouldn’t expect to find in a hospital, and from there, it is off to Neverland💫We had so much fun coming up with how our characters might find their way to Neverland, and who they might meet there! Expect pirates, mermaids, fairies, a few Lost Boys and Lost Girls, plus some surprises☺️

And of course everyone knows the only way to get to Neverland is to follow the second star to the right, straight on till morning 💫

We cannot wait to share more about THE NEVERLAND THIEVES, the first book in a new Neverland set series we are writing in partnership with Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity, published by @simonkidsuk this September.

🩵Did you know Peter Pan creator JM Barrie gifted the Peter Pan rights to @greatormondst in 1929? Having the opportunity to do an official Neverland set story and be part of the this legacy is such a gift and knowing that this series will help support seriously ill children makes it extra special 🩵

💛We hope that this series is an exciting adventure for all young readers but we also wanted to take care to include some characters who have a link to GOSH — and as part of our research we did a tour of the hospital to fully understand the work they do and also so we could better picture any scenes set there.

💚THE NEVERLAND THIEVES opens at GOSH and is about Tom, a patient, Felix his best friend , and Daisy, who is the daughter of a doctor. The three meet some magical, mysterious creatures who you wouldn’t expect to find in a hospital, and from there, it is off to Neverland💫We had so much fun coming up with how our characters might find their way to Neverland, and who they might meet there! Expect pirates, mermaids, fairies, a few Lost Boys and Lost Girls, plus some surprises☺️

And of course everyone knows the only way to get to Neverland is to follow the second star to the right, straight on till morning 💫
