Thank you to everyone who came along to my event in No Alibis bookstore during the Belfast Children’s Festival. My next outing is to the Flat Lake Festival in county Monaghan this weekend. Visit
their website to get a sense of what an unusual, varied and hay-barn style carnival it will be. Bring your wellies. I will be showing and telling in the children’s tent twice over the weekend, on Saturday and Sunday. The theme will be
The Badness of Ballydog and the ideas behind it. I will also be giving a short lecture about some real sea monsters in the HURL pavilion.
Jonny Duddle has done it again with the cover for
Lost Dogs. It is time to reveal his work.
This is the illustrator's portfolio.I like the image a lot. Mr Duddle has captured May’s new look very well and, as you can see, another character has joined the trio for this book. When presented with the cover a certain Ms. S. commented that, “Ewan looks like he’s in a boy band” but that's fine by me. I think that's just right.
Lost Dogs is the sequel to
The Badness of Ballydog and will be out in November. I am still trying to think up a title for the third book.
Hi Garrett! The cover looks great with the titles in place, I'm glad you're happy with it!
ReplyDeleteOoh - and I'm in a position to reveal the cover is slightly different, as the strapline has moved to the side of one of the containers. It was my first Carr book, and I'm very impressed. My review will be on thebookbag.co.uk within a couple of days. - I didn't realise the book wasn't for sale til November!
