Philip Reeve

Philip Reeve is an award-winning British author and illustrator celebrated for his imaginative, inventive fiction for children and young adults. His book AdventureMice: Mice on the Moon is part of his charming series for younger readers, following a band of brave mice on thrilling adventures that combine humour, heart, and page-turning excitement. Reeve first came to prominence with Mortal Engines, an epic science fiction novel set in a future where cities move on enormous tracks and consume each other for resources, which was later adapted into a major film by Peter Jackson. The Mortal Engines quartet and its prequel series Fever Crumb established Reeve as one of the most original voices in young adult fiction, earning him the Carnegie Medal, the Nestlé Smarties Book Prize, and numerous other awards. His work spans genres from steampunk and science fiction to historical adventure and gentle comedy, and he is equally skilled at writing for teenagers and for young children just beginning their reading journeys. Reeve's illustrations add warmth and personality to his books for younger readers, making them complete artistic works. His storytelling is characterised by vivid world-building, memorable characters, and a gift for balancing humour with genuine emotional depth. AdventureMice: Mice on the Moon is available as an audiobook, offering young listeners an enchanting adventure brought to life through engaging narration.
