Together with David Hoskins, Chantal created Horace & Nim. The third book in the series, "Edie's Little White Lie" has been available since Christmas 2020

When Edie tells Kay that “Actually, I love your singing voice,” she wasn’t expecting Kay to run off and enter a talent show. She was just trying to cheer up her best friend after Polecat Mac said how terrible her voice was (and it’s seriously not good).Those judges can be pretty cruel, and the audiences even worse. Will Kay blame Edie when everyone laughs at her? Can their friendship even survive?

Horace and Nim try to help out, but things look pretty grim for the well-meaning duck.

Available from Amazon UK, Hubble & Hattie, Quarto Knows (USA & Canada) and of course your local bookshop.

When cool cousin Reg tells Kay that she can have anything she wants, if she wants it badly enough, Kay is not totally convinced. But she gives it a try. Sure enough, getting her heart’s desire (a freshly-baked acorn pie) proves more than a little frustrating. A great introduction to metaphysics for the precocious four to six year old!

It’s a windy autumn day and the friends are out catching falling leaves for luck. Nim wants to break his all time record of five lucky leaves before tea time. But the more leaves he catches the more accidents he seems to have catching them. Forget breaking records, will Nim survive till teatime?
