This is the all-new unabridged audio edition of Crawlers<\/strong><\/a>, as produced by Oakhill<\/strong><\/a> and performed by Joe Coen<\/strong>. I think they did a terrific job. Here’s the bit where Jasmine examines one of the crawlers for the first time – take a listen<\/a>:[audio:http:\/\/www.theycrawl.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/crawlers.mp3|titles=crawlers]<\/p>\n

In other news, the language edit for my forthcoming (Jan ’12) Barrington Stoke<\/a> book – now entitled My Name Is O<\/strong> – is DONE. Just like my other books, My Name Is O <\/strong>is aimed at 11 to 15 year olds but it’s particularly intended for reluctant or struggling readers<\/strong>. The process of making the story as accessible as possible to its target audience wasn’t easy(-!) but it was every bit as eye-opening and inspiring<\/strong> as I’d hoped it would be. An ENORMOUS thank you to Vicki at BS for her sensitive and surgical linguistic skills. My thanks, too, to the book’s young consultants<\/strong> and to the eagle-eyed writing group<\/strong> at The Big Green Bookshop<\/strong><\/a> who also<\/em> kindly agreed to have the manuscript tested out on them. I’ve learned all sorts of good stuff about style,<\/strong> usage<\/strong> and technique <\/strong>over these past few weeks. I’m looking forward to taking it all on into what I write next<\/strong>. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
