Max and Chaffy: Hunt for the Pirate's Gold (from the million-selling Jamie Smart, Illustrator of the Year)

Jamie Smart studied art at college for four years, but it was just an excuse to practise drawing animals with boggly-eyes. His comic Fish-Head Steve was the first comic to be shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize. Jamie has illustrated comics for The Sunday Times, the Dandy and the Beano. His well-loved Bunny vs Monkey and Looshkin stories are regularly published in The Phoenix comic, and as bestselling graphic novels. Jamie is also the creator of the Max and Chaffy comic series for younger readers, and the illustrated middle-grade Flember series. He was named Illustrator of the Year at the British Book Awards 2024, and Bunny vs Monkey: Multiverse Mix-up won Illustrated Children's Book of the Year.
