V S Nelson writes unconventional middle grade and young adult fantasy, science fiction and supernatural stories for readers who enjoy something a little strange.

His first story was The Keeper of Portals, a middle grade fantasy/sci-fi with plenty of portal jumping and time slipping. His second story, The Archivist, is a young adult dark fantasy all about death and what happens after. His most recent story is The Girl Who Sold Time, a middle grade science fiction adventure about friendship, discovery and finding your place in the universe.

V S Nelson loves big ideas, fantastical concepts and stories that unsettle the reader and set them thinking about something new.

V S Nelson lives in Winchester with his wife, two children and two cats. Whe

OK. I enjoyed the Pakistani elements, and the gran was hoot, but the plot and the time travel were not original enough for me.

Half His Age by Jennette McCurdy
"unfortunately i didn’t like this, which is a shame as i enjoyed the audiobook of ‘i’m glad my mom died’.

it’s repetitive and predictable, with juvenile writing that quickly becomes grating. i can appreciate that the novel is told from the perspective" Read more of this review »

This is not a good book.
While I loved McCurdy's autobiography, it's clear that this book was published not because it is a good story, but because the author is a celebrity.
I have no issue with the sex scenes or the age-difference portrayed in the
