Paul Mason

Paul Mason (Author) Paul's books cover a wide range of subjects, from whether the Romans ate crisps to how to build the world's best skatepark, but he writes mostly about sport. Whether you are interested in swimming, cycling, snowboarding, surfing or another sport, Paul has probably written something that will inspire you to get out and give it a try. Paul writes in a shack by the beach, which he shares with his one-eyed surf dog, Daisy. Jess Bradley (Illustrator) Jess Bradley is a writer and artist for The Phoenix Comic, a writer for The Beano and has illustrated several children's books. A Day In The Life Of A Poo, A Gnu and You, illustrated by Jess won the 2021 Blue Peter Award for Best Non-Fiction. Jess lives in Torquay with her husband and son and enjoys drawing in her many sketchbooks, playing video games, reading and watching scary films.
