In the latest Scream Street book – Scream Street 9: Terror of the Nightwatchman – we get to meet a fun new character…  Spider is an ogre with very unusual powers.  Covered with tattoos, he helps to rescue children from the villainous Nightwatchman and return them to their homes.  He’s kind, powerful – and very, very funny!

Readers always ask me if the characters in my books are based on anyone I know – and in this case, he is!  Spider is a friend of mine.  Here he is with me and  his wicked Scream Street skateboard at a recent book signing in Formby

…and here’s how he’s going to look in the 9th Scream Street book…

I mentioned Spider to my Swedish artist friend, Julia – and here’s what popped into my inbox a short while later…

Why don’t YOU draw your own picture of Spider and email it to me?  I’ll upload it here to the website for everyone to see!

What a scream!
