Hi, I’m Oliver! My next book is about something everyone loves – animals! It has to be the best one yet if I’m going sell enough copies to finally buy a computer than doesn’t majorly lag.

Of course I still have to deal with all the usual stuff: neighbourhood chores, gaming problems, and a disastrous friendship group break-up. But all this thinking about how animals evolved has got me wondering about where we came from, and all things about:
