Imagine you’re dad bringing home an alligator for a pet – would it be cool or uncool? Well to Nicholas, who is used to his father’s weird ideas, it’s great. Mischief ensues, in fact there is never a dull moment until things get a little too out-of-hand. Maybe… Brilliant entertainment and perfect for boys and tomboys too.

Jeremy Strong (1949-2024) was born in Eltham, South East London in November 1949. He has had a varied career path before becoming an author including jobs as a: Head Teacher, Caretaker, Strawberry Picker, Jam Doughnut Stuffer! His first published book was Smith's Tail in 1978.
Jeremy’s work is characterised by humour and direct child appeal. The books are packed with tongue in cheek gags and characters and situations that your children will love. He said of himself "My sense of humour got stuck at age ten." He has said his writing was influenced most of all by Spike Milligan, but also by falling on his head when he was three years old.
When he was about eighteen he started writing very serious stories for adults, but none of them were published. By the time he was twenty-one he was writing stories for children after realizing that he loved writing funny stories and making people laugh.
