His books have been translated into 53 languages,[1] and he has been described as "the fastest-growing children's author in the UK", with a literary style compared to that of Roald Dahl.[2][3][4] Some of his books have been adapted into television films, which he has also appeared in, including Mr Stink (2012), Gangsta Granny (2013) and Billionaire Boy (2016).[5]
