Books by James Warwood
I have written over 25 bestselling books, but the one I’m most proud of is the 6th book in the Truth or Poop series (humourous non-fiction true or false quiz books for 7 - 10 year olds). Why? Because I wrote it with the help of my eldest son, which warms my heart every time I say it out loud :)

The Boy Who Stole One Million Socks
There are three things you should know about Seaweed:
1. He is an eleven-year-old boy (and not the slimy green stuff at the bottom of the ocean)
2. He is an eco-warrior and the only one in Picklington
3. He is willing to do whatever it takes to save the planet . . . anything!
Here are three more things that make Seaweed really angry:
1. The people of Picklington are wasting far too much electricity. Bummer!
2. The Mayor of Picklington is profiting from the pollution by building his unsafe and unnecessary Nuclear Power Station. Double bummer!!
3. The Picklington Vegetable Society is campaigning tirelessly against the Mayor (which is hard work considering Seaweed is the only member) and they are getting zero results. Triple bummer with a non-biodegradable plastic cherry on top!!!
He feels like he is letting the planet down . . . until he joins The Carrot Bandits.
This hilarious book is perfect for the little and big eco-warriors in this world. It's going to take everyone to save our planet, and that's exactly what this book is here to say (and also to make you laugh, but mainly the saving the planet thing).

The Chef Who Cooked Up a Catastrophe
The Grotty Spoon is not what you’d call a normal restaurant.
- The food is revolting
- The service is slow
- The chairs are uncomfortable
- The toilets are infested
- The dishwasher is a Yak called Fee Fee
- Every night something goes disastrously wrong in the kitchen
- And it’s a holiday hotspot for jet-setting bacteria
Mr Sprout, the cruel owner and talentless Head Chef, is as cold-hearted as a dead lizard. He’ll do anything to win a Golden Placemat Award. So when Mr Sprout goes looking for a Yumma Yum Bird, the Trainee Chef attempts to make a deadly curry, and Pierre the waiter is left to entertain the Awards Inspector, a recipe for disaster begins to bubble that will undoubtedly end with a gloriously gross BANG!!! (But on the bright side the E-coli Family will have a delightful holiday).
This grotty eBook, self-illustrated with over thirty pencil drawings, is hands down the grottiest story ever told! If you enjoyed Roald Dahl’s The Twits or David Walliams’ Mr Stink, you’ll love The Grotty Spoon.

The Girl Who Vanquished the Dragon
⚠ QUESTION ⚠ - What animal would you turn into if you drank Mr. Fitz’s Fabulous Formula?
- Mr. Dickens, the village dentist, turned into a LION.
- Mrs. Wrinklebottom, the village sandwich shop owner, turned into a ZEBRA.
- Reverend Nightingale, the village vicar, turned into a MOUSE.
- And the village postman, black smith, butcher, milkman, and orphanage headmistress turned into a PIG, GORILLA, SHEEP, FLY, and GRIZZLY BEAR.
- However, Penny, the village orphan, continued to be a girl.
You see, when a mysterious travelling salesman called Mr. Fitz came to the village of Sandwich selling his fabulous formula, Penny did not drink it. She also managed to stop Earl, the village idiot, from drinking it too.
This all sounds rather fun, and it was until someone turned into a DRAGON, and not a friendly one (think sharp teeth, sharper claws, and flammable burps that can burn more than just your eyebrows off). He took over the village and made everyone call him the ‘Gracious and Merciful Dragon Overlord of Sandwich’.
This hilarious book, illustrated with over thirty pencil drawings, is quite possibly the silliest story ever told!
