I love how the Albie books transform everyday events and mundane activities into magnificent escapades. Mum might just have the most fun game of all - a gloopy, squishy mud bath before they both fall asleep! The following year, I wrote How to Grow a Dinosaur and sent it to my editor at Simon and Schuster to see if she thought it might be a suitable second story for Albie. I had a great childhood and growing up, my parents often referred to our games and outings as adventures.

Sometimes I read a book which just blows me away and The Many Worlds of Albie Bright by Christopher Edge is one of them… This book is such a delight it made me laugh out loud, took my breath away and made me cry.

On his final journey, he meets his mum, only to find that this world’s Albie had died within weeks of his birth.

Join Albie on an exciting underwater adventure as he hunts for sunken treasure with a crew of crazy pirates. Readers are taken on an action-packed tour which takes in pyramids, a sphinx, secret passageways, hidden chambers and a sarcophagus.Chris Edge’s writing is wonderfully fresh and acute, and as he tells Albie’s story he addresses some difficult issues, including bullying and parental absence as well as bereavement, with enormous empathy and a wicked understanding of ten-year-old humour. There's a brilliant part where Albie and his pals are sliding down a tunnel and the book flips on its side to better reflect their descent.

Christopher Edge’s warm hearted writing sucks you in from the start with a sparkling take on parallel worlds, fuelled by a delightfully fresh understanding of quantum physics and a fearless ability to take on life, loss and dreaming big while never talking down to his readers.

Brimming with fun and with added counting and lots of details to spot, these action-packed adventures are the perfect way to get young children reading. All the while Grandad keeps popping up in the background, watching different parts of the film Back To The Future. This charming and imaginative story is set against a backdrop of 14 beautifully intricate watercolor illustrations that help bring the story to life. The garden has grown beyond all belief and these are not just any old plants - oh, no - Albie's seeds have grown into great big jurassic jungle!
