The creators of the incredibly popular Kid Normal series of books are back with a new stand-alone adventure, The Great Dream Robbery.
You’ll know Greg James from his Breakfast show on BBC Radio 1 and you may know him and his friend, writer Chris Smith, from their Kid Normal series about a boy whose mum accidentally enrols him into a school for superheroes. With hilarious results.
And now the two writing friends have come up with another genius idea for a new book. What if you could invent a device that let you inside someone else’s dream? And what if an evil-minded someone trapped inside a nightmare?! That’s what happens in The Great Dream Robbery (published on 16 September)
Greg and Chris are a lively double-act, great fun and much enjoyed by their audiences. They’ll be at the Bath Children’s Literature Festival on Saturday 25 September from 1.30pm at the Bath Forum, which is just a five minute walk from Bath Spa station and the bus station. This event is aimed at kids aged between nine and 12 but it will be fun for all the family.
To win a family ticket for two adults and two children simply answer this question: What is Kid Normal’s real name?
Also in the prize bundle will be a signed copy of the new book, The Great Dream Robbery!
