It's out! It's here! It's real! Written by me and illustrated by the fabulous Jamie Littler

Daisy Wart has hit the shops, the supermarkets, the online sellers and the WORLD!!!

But who is Daisy Wart? 

Daisy Wart is a Shakespearean actress with grand ambitions!

She is FURIOUS at being left at witch school by her granny because SHE IS NOT A WITCH! She is a SHAKESPEAREAN ACTRESS! And now she's in a tragedy.  Who will play her Bottom if she's trapped at Witch School? But Daisy soon becomes drawn into the mysteries of life at Toadspit Towers, and finds that she even has a few magical surprises up her sleeve…
You can read the first few chapters on the Nosy Crow website. 

​And you can read a super review on The Book Activist

Publication day just came a little bit closer! Jamie Littler is scanning his illustrations for
You Can't Make Me Go To Witch School! 
Next step. BOOK!
Granny Wart and Daisy on the right, having an argument with a gargoyle and Ms Lobelia getting ready for the How To Control A Vernicious Veraptor Lesson on the left. "Get ready to sing girls! Doh Doh Doh!"

I shared this poem on facebook with my friends recently but thought I should share it here too because it's exciting!!!! It's a BOOK DEAL! 
​
A Bird in the Hand
Today I signed a book deal
Woo hoo, yaroo, yippee,
Today I signed a book deal
But not for one - for three!
'We love your characters, your 'Voice', 
They said, enthusiastic.
'The comedy, You Are Your Hat! 
Your witchy world's fantastic!'
They wooed me with their cupcakes,
In the guise of Toadspit hats
They wowed me with their fondness
For the cauldrons and the cats.
Today I signed a book deal
Woo hoo, yaroo, yippee,
Today I signed a book deal
But not for one - for three!
Which publisher, I hear you ask
Has signed the deal of glee?
Who wants a witchy world of fun
Who made me shout whoopee?
A company of awesomeness,
A bird I'm sure you know,
I've hooked my witchy charm bracelet
To the leg of Nosy Crow!

You see! I was right! It's very exciting! 

​More info coming soon. ​

I'd love a name like Bloodaxe Bert,
Or Putrid Pete, or Gruesome Gert.
Fearsome Fred would be fantastic.
Dreadful Dev would sound quite drastic.

​I'd love a name like Bloodaxe Bert,

Fearsome Fred would be fantastic.
Dreadful Dev would sound quite drastic.
Obnoxious Otto would be great,
I'd love to be a Nasty Nate.
But, that can't be, cos ever since
I ate a stew of squid and quince,
And threw up over Captain Kid
He went and named me Seasick Sid.
