THE BOY IN THE TREE
22-11-2024
I have some VERY exciting news to share… I have a BRAND NEW BOOK arriving to the UK next May – THE BOY IN THE TREE.
This is a short, middle grade novella that I have written with the brilliant publisher, Barrington Stoke, about Noah’s quest to save his parents’ marriage and a local tree from developers. 
My publishers say:-
Touching on themes of environmental activism and parental separation, THE BOY IN THE TREE is a moving, honest portrayal of the challenges of adjusting to a new family dynamic with standout illustrations by Katie Kear.
And you can read the blurb here:-Troublemaker Noah reveals hidden depths as he teams up with goodie-two-shoes Grace to save a majestic local oak tree in this uplifting tale from bestselling author Lisa Thompson.
No one can quite believe it when troublemaker Noah gets involved in the campaign to save a local oak tree. And when he takes his protest up into its branches and refuses to get down, the story goes viral, attracting more attention than he could ever imagined.
But while Noah does really want to save the tree, and marvels at the thousands of creatures that depend on it as their home, he also really wants to save his parents’ marriage. He hopes that his actions will somehow unite them again and stop them arguing, but has he gone too far this time?
Dyslexia friendly!
