Competition! New Book! Authors Assemble!

Hello! It's July! I LOVE July - the sun comes out, the weather starts to warm up, and you've still got the whole summer to look forward to - plus my new book's just come out! The first copies just arrived - and it's like it was MY birthday! They're SO SPARKLY!!

Cover by the fab Lilly Lazuli!

THE NEVER-ENDING BIRTHDAY is published by Macmillan Children's Books and it's the story of twins Max and Anni who have the WORST thirteenth birthday ever! Max misses a vital goal in the Cup Final, fails a test & smashes a neighbour's window, while Anni's birthday party spins wildly out of control and her best friend dumps her, and both twins are grounded FOREVER. 
    Feeling thoroughly miserable, Max and Anni sneak downstairs at midnight and light their birthday candles and, as they blow them out, they make a wish . . . to redo the day!
When they wake up, their wish has come true! But little do they realize that they are going to have to relive their birthday again . . . and again . . . and again!

To WIN your very own SPARKLY copy simply email me at kayteedale@hotmail.com or tweet me at @katiedaleuk telling me which day of your life you'd like to repeat - and why!

I'm also very very VERY excited to be part of the

AUTHORS ASSEMBLE MEGA-TOUR!

How cool is that? It sounds like we're superheroes. right? Hm, which Avenger would I be...? I was actually in the movie Captain America, and loved Agent Carter - does she count? 😉 Anyway, back to the tour! Along with the lovely Tom Percival (Little Legends series) and Scott Allen (Llama United) I'll be touring schools all over the country meeting over 2000 kids! If you're one of them, do come and say hi!

In other news, I did my first ever radio interview last week - EEK! It'll be broadcast next month so I'll tell you more about it then 😊

And I've been busy writing too - I've got not one, not two, but SEVEN Early Reader books in the pipeline!

Have a lovely July everyone!
