Fizzlebert Stump: The Boy Who Cried Fish Written by A.F. Harrold Illustrated by Sarah Horne A bright and bold new package for the highly successful and widely praised Fizzlebert Stump series, featuring a boy, a circus and a lot of silliness. Fizzlebert Stump lives in a circus. His mum’s a clown, his best friend is a bearded boy, and he sticks his head in a lion’s mouth every night. Other than that, he’s pretty normal. When Fish the sea lion goes missing, Fizzlebert tracks him to an aquarium, which has problems of its own. Can Fizzlebert solve the mystery, avoid an overenthusiastic crocodile and find his friend? 3 September 2020

Fizzlebert Stump and the Girl Who Lifted Quite Heavy Things It’s the great Circus of Circuses competition, but Fizzlebert Stump has no act. He’s no longer the Boy Who Puts His Head in the Lion’s Mouth (the lion retired) and putting his head in a crocodile’s mouth instead didn’t work out for some reason. Can Fizz find a new act in time? A.F. Harrold is an English poet and novelist who writes and performs for both children and adults. He is the owner of many books, a handful of hats and one beard. He lives in Reading with a stand-up comedian and two cats. Sarah Horne grew up in Derbyshire and specialises in funny, inky illustration and words for children’s fiction and picture books. 3 September 2020
