Kate Gilby Smith was born on the sunny island of Guernsey. It was daydreaming during a philosophy of time travel seminar at Edinburgh University that she first had the idea for her first book, The Astonishing Future of Alex Nobody. Alongside being an author, she works as a publicist at a London publisher of science, philosophy and history books.
A great idea, pulled off with real panache ... the whole thing is a
delight
*Anthony McGowan, author of Lark*
A joyous, inventive and original rollicking adventure
*Liz Hyder, author of Bearmouth*
A brilliant page-turning, time travelling adventure, full of heart
and filled with courage and friendship
*Jess Butterworth, author of Running on the Roof of the World*
A wonderful time-travelling adventure with more twists and turns
than the hands of a clock on a helter-skelter. Alex and Jasper are
a fantastic dynamic duo, and the book has genuine friendship and
warmth at the heart of a timey-wimey mystery. I loved it.
*L.D. Lapinski, author of The Strangeworlds Travel Agency*
Expect the unexpected in this exciting, twisty tale
*The Week Junior*
A super original concept and a book brimming with imagination. And
I loved that ending!!!
*Hannah Gold, author of The Last Bear*
