Breakfast is always chaotic in Jason's home. Not the best time to try to explain that you've started turning invisible overnight! The events of the rest of the day don't get any more sensible: Jason has to rescue his best friend, George, from the clutches of the quiz-show obsessed Dr Brillbot; then there's his sister's football team, who desperately need a hand to avoid another disasterous result they are sure they are heading for that day. And all of this before tea-time! Twenty-Nil and other disasters is a hilarious oddball tale that sweeps the reader up on an irresistable roller-coaster adventure, right from page one. Hilary Hawkes spins another dazzling tale in this crazy adventure.

Hilary Hawkes grew up in Fareham, Hampshire. She loved listening to stories and started to write her own at the age of eight. By the time she was sixteen, Hilary had already written two novels of 70, 000 words each, but she couldn't find anyone to publish them. She persevered and, when she reached nineteen, Hilary "got lucky" - a magazine recognised her as a brilliant storyteller and, at last, dozens of her newest short stories were published. Hilary took a degree in English and Publishing, and started work as an editorial assistant. Later, as a mother of three, she discovered the joys of assisting in a nursery class - subsequently training as a Montessori teacher - and began to write stories again. Two of these, '125, Go!' and 'There's a Grandad in my Soup!' - were published by Scripture Union Publishing and a number of contributions by Hilary have been included in books published by Learning Development Aids (LDA). She now lives in Oxfordshire with her husband, Peter, and sons David, Richard and Matthew. In between teaching, being Mum-the-Taxi-driver, walking Hattie the dog and doing things like mending the ceiling where the electrician fell through, she's thinking up lots more stories for us all. Amber Castle has always loved fairy tales and the legends of Guinevere and King Arthur. She's also a keen horse rider, and when she tried archery for the first time a few years ago, she found it so much fun she now does it every week! Mary Hall was born in Essex. She studied architecture at Bath University and become an architect before turning her hand to children's book illustrating. Mary has worked on books and magazines and has now been illustrating for over 15 years.
