Nellie Choc-Ice and the Plastic Island

Jeremy Strong is a former head teacher and multi-award-winning children’s author, a fact recognised by 10 Downing Street when Jeremy was invited to speak to the Prime Minister as a reading ambassador. He launched the popular Read for My School campaign with Book Trust and is their high-profile figurehead for the scheme. His books for Barrington Stoke have sold over 200,000 copies.||Jamie Smith has worked as an illustrator for over 15 years. He says his first art-related memory was drawing a hamster to impress his new teacher. It was a fine hamster, and pencils and paper have been Jamie’s constant companions ever since. He lives in Surrey, where he works in a studio at the bottom of the garden with a spaniel for company.
