About the author

Hello there

My name's Henry White. I’m a children’s author and television writer. I'm currently writing a series of novels for Harper Collins, starting with 'Too Many Tims' (out May '26). I also wrote the Little Badman series (with Humza Arshad) for Penguin.

I love to write comedy and began my career in television after winning a place in C4’s New Comedy Writers Awards. I've written for various sketch shows and sitcoms, as well as writing and directing promos for a number of comedy channels.

​I'm a proud dyslexic, and pretty sure that, rather than getting in my way, it's what allows me to do this for a living.

I was born and raised in West London and now live in Bath. Oh, and I have a birthmark shaped like a duck. Make of it what you will.

I really enjoyed reading this book, although the message near the end I don’t agree with somewhat. Fear is a survival mechanism and actually is a part of human instinct to help protect you. You just have to know which ones are life saving, and which ones are mild fears that won’t hurt to ignore, but since its written for kids I guess it was simplified. Anyway the story was good, but just don’t read it at silly o’clock at night when the rest of the house are trying to sleep. This book will have you laughing out loud in some parts. It’s really funny, full of adventure, with a good clever twist to the mystery. I’m ready for the next one, if there will be a next one. Well I’m ready.

Utterly hilarious, my son and I devoured this audiobook. The Dad just cracks me up, we are giggling all the way through. Totally ridiculous, yes, but totally enjoyable!!
