Mo, Lottie and the Junkers cover reveal
We are very happy to present the cover for Mo, Lottie and the Junkers, the first book in an exciting new series by Jennifer Killick, publishing on 18 April. Irresistible comic sci-fi about new families, moving across the street, solving a mystery and saving your friend.
Mo Appleby’s ordered life is turned upside down when he and his mum move in with his new stepdad and stepsisters, Lottie and Sadie. The home he left behind is just across the street, and there’s something not quite right about the new occupant. Other strange new people keep popping into his life, too: a bonkers lollipop man and a boy called Jax, who seems to understand Mo better than anyone else, especially Lottie.
