Meet rising star of children's fiction - James Fox

About this event

James is an astonishing new children’s books talent: his stories shine with wit and warmth. The Boy in the Suit has been shortlisted for the Waterstones Prize, Branford Boase and The Week Junior’s Breakthrough children’s fiction book of 2025 and was Book of the Week in The Times, the Observer and The Telegraph.

His new book Boy vs Reality is funny, sensitive, moving and gripping, covering everyday family issues. It will spark important conversations around the sharing of kids content online, but handled in a non-sensationalist way. James Fox’s ultimately uplifting message is about being present and enjoying the everyday moments of life in an authentic, happy way.
