Strange Trips and Weird Adventures (Available now worldwide)

​

There is no stronger bond than that between Daniel and his Papa; together they discover magical adventures, which take them to the very edge of danger. Mystical escapades, that ooze the intrigue needed to stimulate a child’s imagination. But, wherever they go, they are guaranteed to find trouble!

Whether you’re being taken to the moon in a sherbert-fuelled rocket to discover the real reason the Americans went there, building a homemade submarine and heading across the world’s deepest oceans, or flying to the Arctic Circle in an airship and befriending a polar bear called Preston. Pattison incites a child-like sense of wonder in readers of all ages.

Strange Trips and Weird Adventures is a remarkable book for remarkable children, filled with wonderful illustrations.

Based on reviews received from young readers, as well as from parents and the young-at-heart, Strange Trips and Weird Adventures is perhaps John Walker Pattison’s first step to children’s novelist superstardom.

The Kingdom of Huckleberry Jam (October 2023)

​

“Careful not to show his fear, Daniel stood up and there she was right there in front of him, the most exquisitely horrid-looking woman he had ever seen. She stood there as if frozen in time, gazing straight at him; covered from her neck to her feet in a black robe. Just below her wrinkled neck, the robe was pinned together with a sparkling silver half-moon brooch; her green-tinted skin showed signs of decay. She had the eyes of a wolf — cunning and flame yellow. Her straw-like hair was infested with lice, while her hooked nose looked like the beak of a hawk. A large black wart sat on top of her upper lip, matching the colour of her teeth, or at least the few she had.”
