Alex Wheatle is a best-selling and multi-award-winning author. Liccle Bit, Alex’s first YA novel and the first story of the now beloved Crongton series, was published in 2015 to critical acclaim. Crongton Knights and Straight Outta Crongton quickly followed, and Alex became renowned for his ingenious use of language and his honest portrayal of inner city, teenage life. In 2008, Alex received an MBE for his services to literature and was shortlisted in 2020 for the NSK Neustadt Prize for Children’s Literature. Most recently, Alex received the 2021 Young Quills Award for Cane Warriors.

“Laugh out loud funny with perfect comic timing … Great for readers who might have loved Liz Pichon’s Tom Gates, and hopefully a gateway to Alex Wheatle’s brilliant Crongton series" – BookTrust"Wheatle’s characteristic lively language, impassioned Star Wars references and colourful invented insults make for a brief but riotously relatable slapstick romp, ideal for reluctant readers" – Guardian"A hilarious, charming story … Peppered with Star Wars references and laugh out loud, cringeworthy moments that every awkward teen will relate to” – Scottish Book Trust"Drawing inspiration from his own schooldays, Wheatle captures the awkward raging-hormone angst and cringeworthy reality of being a teenager." – Children's Books Ireland“As thought provoking as it is hilarious” – Books for Keeps“A sharp-beat of a voice that is as fresh and as hip as is it awash with pop-cultural charm … not only riffs with a cultural and lexical discourse of today’s youth but it also speaks for an audience who will have long been crying out for more voices like theirs for a very long time" – Mat Tobin
