Tristan Bancks has featured on our podcast series, and since we interviewed him about his Mac Slater, Cool Hunter series he has secured an American publishing deal and has released two more books for kids.
Nit Boy is his new series (in a genre he's calling Nit Lit) and the first two books, Lift Off and Bug Out have just been released. Tristan describes the books as being:
“...about two ‘blood brothers’ – Lewis, a kid with the worst case of nits in world history, and Ned, a nit that lives on his head. They feature very cool illustrations by Heath McKenzie and they’re a chance for kids and families to laugh about the eternal battle against these blood-sucking mini-beasts.”
To help promo the books there’s a 3D animated trailer on YouTube and you can order the books online from the 'Store' page on Tristan's site: www.tristanbancks.com.
