Unlike most 12-year-olds Maya Clayton is desperate to go to bed early. Her brilliant but slightly odd dad is stuck in a nightmare, and with the help of the mysterious dream bandits she needs to rescue him!
Out now in paperback from the bestselling and hilarious authors of Kid Normal, Greg James and Chris Smith.
Featuring BIG dreams, and even BIGGER trouble. The Great Dream Robbery is out now.
Greg James hasn't yet won a story writing competition but is hopeful that it will happen one day. Maybe even with this new book you're about to read/have read. As well as writing the aforementioned bestselling Kid Normal series with Chris Smith, Greg is the host of The Radio 1 Breakfast Show, the loosely cricket based podcast Tailenders and Radio 4's Rewinder. Basically he's turned all his favourite things into work and now has no hobbies. Greg also lives in north London but with his own family. This includes his wife Bella and his dog Barney who is staring at him impatiently because he wants to go for a walk.
Chris Smith has wanted to be an author ever since he was eight and won a competition by writing a story about a baby dinosaur who loved biscuits. That story is soon to be brought to life as a blockbuster Hollywood movie. Not really, he made that part up. Chris worked for many years as a newsreader and presenter on radio stations including Xfm and BBC Radio 1. That's where he met Greg James, and in between messing about on the airwaves the pair created the bestselling Kid Normal series. Chris lives in north London with his family and a cat called Mabel who can go invisible.
