Granpa and grandson try to best each other when it comes to telling outrageous stories. But once he gets to know the Legend of the Worst Boy in the World, Will thinks he may have a winner on his hands!

Absolutely delighted and honoured to learn that our graphic novel, GLOBAL, about the dangers of climate change and its effects on young people around the globe has been longlisted for the prestigious Wainwright Prize 2024 for Children’s Writing about nature. We couldn’t be more thrilled to be included on such an amazing and special list. #wainwrightprize #wainwrightprize24 #childrensbooks. #graphicnovels #books #globalgraphicnovel #eoincolfer

Gerade ausgelesen: Die Bände 1 - 3 aus der Reihe Artemis Fowl von Eoin Colfer. Für meinen Mainstreamfantasygeschmack ungewohnt. Die Geschichten hätten etwas länger sein können. Die Protagonisten waren fast alle echt lustig.
Bloß die Illustrationen mag ich nicht; der Stil ist seltsam. Der Schuber für die ersten drei Bände ist dennoch schick.
Insgesamt ne klare Empfehlung.

Big thanks to Peter’s Books for picking our new graphic novel GLOBAL as one of their special Book Talk Cards this month. GLOBAL tells the story of two teenagers, in different parts of the world, whose lives are endangered by today’s climate change. Just like ILLEGAL, everything in the book is real, only the characters are fictional. #graphicnovel #comics #books #bookstodon #andrewdonkin #eoincolfer #climatechange #GlobalGraphicNovel

Another teenage protagonist of Eoin Colfer's, but this one isn't a genius. Instead, he has superpowers and lives in a postapocalyptic world. Goodreads reviews tell me this standalone doesn't come close to Artemis Fowl standards, but I intend to give it a try anyway.

Hello! In the highly unlikely event you are near any of these events, we’d love to see you at the launch of our new graphic novel, Global. Come one, come all. #Globalgraphicnovel #graphicnovels #comics #globalwarning #climatechange #writing #eoincolfer #andrewdonkin #giovannirigano

Here’s the lovely Korean cover to our graphic novel, ILLEGAL. Always exciting for a writer to see the translation editions of your work as they roll in. Often years after the original book comes out. Often tailored in ways you can never predict to the local market. Illegal was co-written by me and #EoinColfer with art by Giovanni Rigano. I love the bright colours & almost 3D clouds on this cover. #graphicnovels #comics #Illegalgraphicnovel #books #kidsbooks #kidslit #Korean #NoOneIsIllegal

"All souls in different bodies. Human bodies, dragon bodies, mogwai bodies. Vessels, as such. Some souls are assholes and some ain’t. Maybe it seems like there is an inordinate amount of human assholes, but that’s just percentages."
From: "Highfire", a novel by #EoinColfer

Ok, take two, now I know a little bit more. I’m Andrew Donkin - I’ve been a professional #writer for the last 25 years #writing over 80 #books.

The gentleman next to me, who looks like he’s drifted off to sleep, is my good friend and co-#author #EoinColfer. I live in #London. I love #comics, #Dinosaurs, #fossils, #DoctorWho, #Buffy, #Marvel, #kidslit. I post about all the above.
