Book reviews

Our reviewer

Philip Reeve is the author of the award-winning Mortal Engines sequence and Here Lies Arthur (both Scholastic, £6.99 PB). He has also illustrated Kjartan Poskitt’s Murderous Maths (Scholastic, £5.99 PB) and Urgum the Axeman (Scholastic, £6.99 PB) series. In his latest novel, No Such Thing As Dragons (Scholastic, £9.99 HB), Philip illustrates one of his own stories for the first time. He lives on Dartmoor with his wife Sarah and their seven-year-old son Sam. Sam is fairly new to reading and still quite suspicious of it, but he helped with some of these reviews.
