About Me

YUCK WEBI'm an author of a children's book series about a boy who's so disgusting they call him YUCK and a series called AN AWFULLY BEASTLY BUSINESS, which is out July 2008. YUCK has been voted as one of Blue Peter's Top Picks, which is fantastic, and is getting thousands of children reading and giggling all over the country. AN AWFULLY BEASTLY BUSINESS is going to be HUGE!If you're interested in children's books or just fancy a laugh then check out YUCK WEB and sign up to Yuck's Fan Club.YUCK TOP PICKS BBC BLUE PETERI've come to myspace because my mate Dave, who I write the books with, told me that myspace would be a fantastic place to tell people more about YUCK and answer their questions. It's lovely to hear from you when you order or read the books - it makes such a difference - so do keep in touch. If you haven't got your copy yet, then grab them from your local high street or online at AMAZON or WATERSTONES or PLAY.COM or TESCO.COMMATT AND DAVE
