Blow out the candles! My newest book, Alex and The Other, is coming out on March 31/2018!

It's been a while coming, 18 months have passed since the last book in the award-winning Weird Stories Gone Wrong series was published. That was Carter and the Curious Maze in August, 2016.

Since then, the series has won an award--Myles and the Monster Outside won 2017 OLA Silver Birch Express Honour Book-- and been nominated for a few more.

All to say, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX AND THE OTHER, welcome to the world!

Here's a longer blog post about the book, why I wrote about an evil twin, loneliness (which I think is an under-represented theme in middle grade fiction) and a boy whose best friend is his cat: http://phdowding.blogspot.ca/2018/03/...
