Joseph Coelho was the Waterstones Children’s Laureate 2022–2024, and is an award-winning poet, playwright and writer. In 2024 he won the Yoto Carnegie Medal for Writing for The Boy Lost in the Maze and was awarded an OBE for his services to the arts, to children’s reading and to literature.
“From the former Children’s Laureate comes an exciting new series, part Indiana Jones, part Ghostbusters, part Pokémon, but all very much its own. Brilliant.” ~Netgalley
