Biography

Before becoming an illustrator he worked at a bookshop for several years. He provided cartoons for many books including those in the ''Horrible Histories'' and the ''Murderous Maths'' series and wrote the Buster Bayliss series of books for young readers, which currently includes ''Night of the Living Veg'', ''The Big Freeze'', ''Day of the Hamster'', and ''Custardfinger''. His first book for older readers was the bestselling ''Mortal Engines'' which won the Nestle Smarties Book Prize Gold Award and was shortlisted for the Whitbread Book Award. ''Mortal Engines'' is the first book in the Hungry City Chronicles series, which also includes Reeve's ''Predator's Gold'', ''Infernal Devices'' and ''A Darkling Plain''. The books are about the lives of two young adventurers, Tom Natsworthy and Hester Shaw, who live in a lawless post-apocalyptic world inhabited by moving cities.
