Joe tries to make friends with a mysterious new neighbour - a 'silence seeker' - in this haunting and lyrical perspective on immigration.
Ben has been teaching for 10 years and has worked all over the world, from Poland to Borneo, China to Islington. He is now living and working in Singapore and feels like staying put for a while at least. He is married to Heloise, a designer, and has a daughter, Lyra, with another one on the way. He loves football, snakes and going on adventures. The Silence Seeker is his first book for children... but, hopefully,not his last.
