Published last year in hardback, the fifth Mole and Friends book, A Secret Worth Sharing has just come out in paperback. UK readers may have seen the book being read by Casualty’s Tristan Gemmill on the CBeebies Bedtime Hour over the summer.
It’s been eleven year’s since the first Mole book, Bringing Down the Moon, was published and I didn’t imagine at the time that illustrator Vanessa Cabban and I would still be creating books about Mole and his friends a decade later. Although the first four stories have proved very popular, with Mole’s adventures being translated into more than 22 languages, I decided the format needed shaking up a little for this fifth book, so I introduced a new character, Mouse, to Moles’s familiar circle. Here’s what it says on the back cover:
Mole's new friend, Mouse, is so special, he doesn't want to share her with anyone and decides to keep her a secret. But some secrets are worth sharing.
And here's my favourite spread from the book, the last panel of which echoes the first Mole story, Bringing Down the Moon.
The book is published by Walker Books in the UK. You can find out more about it on this page of my web site.
