It’s that time of year again – World Book Day! I’ve been very busy with writing, so I haven’t been able to book any school visits, but I can’t wait to see your costumes and your creativity. It’s always one of my favourite times of year as an author!

If you want to dress up as one of my characters, you’re in luck! All the costumes are very easy.

I’ve given a comprehensive rundown of how to dress like the Detective Society in this post from 2020 – all you really need is a school uniform and a magnifying glass, so it’s perfect if you’re pressed for time.

And of course, if you want to dress like my newest detectives, May, Eric and Nuala – you can just look at the cover of the Ministry of Unladylike Activity! My illustrator Jan has done wonderful drawings of all three of them, complete with their outfits.

Whatever you do tomorrow or this week, I hope you have a wonderful time celebrating books and reading! Happy World Book Day!
