About the Author
Philip Reeve grew up in Brighton. He has been writing stories since he was five years old, but the first one to be published was Mortal Engines which won the Nestle Smarties Book Prize and Blue Peter Book Award, and was made into a blockbuster film. Philip has also provided cartoons and jokes for many books, including Horrible Histories, and written the magical Utterly Dark series. Sarah McIntyre is easy to spot in her pointy glasses and hats. Sometimes she writes and draws picture books and comics herself, and sometimes she illustrates books for other people, including Giles Andreae, Alan MacDonald, Gillian Rogerson, Anne Cottringer and Claire Freedman. When Philip and Sarah make books together, they both brainstorm the story ideas together, then Philip writes them and Sarah illustrates them. But occasionally they swap roles for a bit. And they love dressing up.
Reviews
By a celebrated team . . . Illustrated [by Sarah McIntyre] with precise, charming and expressive pictures worth poring over, it takes us into the detailed dwellings of a delightful mouse community . . . Philip Reeve is an expert storyteller * Sunday Times Children's Book of the Week (Adventuremice: Otter Chaos) *
A delightful bite-size adventure vibrantly illustrated * BookTrust Books We Love (Adventuremice: Otter Chaos) *
Reeve and McIntyre's wit, charm and silliness ooze throughout the story. The illustrations are bright, bold and totally typical of McIntyre's inimitable style * Just Imagine (Adventuremice: Otter Chaos) *
McIntyre's illustrations are typically irresistible. Brilliant characterisation is achieved in the simplest way - with bold line and colour delivering pictures that sparkle and fizz on almost every page * Books for Keeps (Adventuremice: Otter Chaos) *
A new Reeve and McIntyre collaboration is always a treat * The Bookseller, One to Watch (Adventuremice: Otter Chaos) *
The first of a perfect full colour adventure series for younger readers * LoveReading4Kids (Adventuremice: Otter Chaos) *
An absolute joy * ReadingZone (Adventuremice: Otter Chaos) *
[Pedro's] longing to have an adventure, and the obstacles to achieving that, are what strike a chord with so many KS1 children. Readers love to cheer him on . . . This is a colour-illustrated chapter book to inspire (day-)dreams and great ambition. It is a short book . . . with a big heart . . . The final pages - a map of The Mouse Islands, 'How to Draw Pedro' and 'About the Authors' - are a great addition to this latest book from the talented Reeve-McIntyre duo, which reflect their humour and their generosity * Books for Topics (Adventuremice: Otter Chaos) *
Reeve and McIntyre are a classic team * The Times *
As the story dashes along so, too, do the illustrations, which are a delight on every page * Guardian, praise for Reeve & McIntyre *
A fun-packed delight * Telegraph, praise for Reeve & McIntyre *
A delightfully told, beautiful tale * Chris Riddell, praise for Reeve & McIntyre *
