Adrian Edmondson is a British writer, actor, and comedian who creates imaginative and humorous books for children. He is the author of the middle-grade novels "Tilly and the Time Machine" and "Junkyard Jack and the Horse That Talked," and has also lent his voice to narrating classic children's audiobooks.
Jack is small enough to fold himself into a school bag, which is useful when life at home feels impossible. His favorite escape is Old Mr. Mudge’s junkyard, where he can ride Lightning and Boadicea, two horses with much more to say than most grown-ups expect.
Then Jack accidentally runs away, and the world gets louder, messier, and much stranger. With talking animals at his side and a daring plan in his head, he sets off on a wild mission to help his mum.
Full of slapstick trouble, cheeky animal voices, and plenty of horse-poo humor, this funny chapter book is a lively adventure for readers who like their stories silly, fast-moving, and just a little bit outrageous.
