Winner of the Stockton Children's Book Award, the Bedfordshire Book of the Year Award and Sheffield Children's Book Award, Peter now visits over 100 schools a year across the globe, spreading an enthusiasm for reading, writing and story-telling.
His remarkable ability to capture the imagination of young people, engaging the most reluctant of readers with his tales of spooky happenings has led to fan mail from students who remember his presentations from ten years ago or more and are off to university, or writing books of their own.
Born and brought up on a council estate in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. Pete left school with few qualifications. Feeling ill suited to an academic lifestyle he followed in the family tradition of working in the dangerous steel works of Sheffield. What happened over the next 30 years is an amazing story...
I will say, I didn't finish this book and that is for no reason other than the fact it isn't my personal preference of genre. To be completely honest, I only bought the book because the author came into my school and was signing them so I wanted to be included. Definitely not a bad book, just not something I'm intrigued by or would choose to of read if the assembly had not of taken place.
This was a very nice break from my usual reading material am so glad i decided to read my old books, i probably would have enjoyed it a lot more when i was younger it still was interesting.
