Mr Tiger, Betsy and the Blue Moon is the first in an enchanting new series from award-winning English author and illustrator Sally Gardner, following on from her much-loved “Agatha Christie for kids” Wings and Co Fairy Detective Agency series. Filled with fairy tale ingredients and combining magic and fast-paced adventure stories her work is adored around the world and has been translated into 22 languages. A beacon of creativity and skill, Sally is dyslexic and the founder of a dyslexia charity, which champions it as a gift rather than a disability. She talks about words and wonder and the mystery and mayhem at the heart of her writing.
