I’m delighted to learn that Waterstones have selected ‘The Clockwork Conspiracy’ as one of its ‘Best Paperbacks’ for this year.

Joining a list of paperback titles published this year from every genre, ‘The Clockwork Conspiracy’ is one of the first cohort of children’s books to be selected for this prestigious list, and I couldn’t be more pleased.

Other children’s titles selected include Katherine Rundell’s Impossible Creatures, Sharna Jacksons’ The Nine Night Mystery and Christopher Edge’s Black Hole Cinema Club, to name just a handful of the absolute bangers picked for the list.

Look out for the full collection of titles in Waterstones branches across the UK in the lead-up to Christmas.
