Milo Antrobus
Milo’s love of stories began at school, escaping boring lessons through books and wild adventures of his own invention. Growing up in rural Worcestershire fuelled his imagination, surrounded by animals and an abandoned stately home. After many years teaching and writing plays, he studied the MA Writing for Young People at Bath Spa University. Now based in the West Country, Milo divides his time between teaching, writing, and retreating to his small house in France, still dreaming of one day playing Prospero at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford upon Avon.
Running With Ghosts
When 13-year-old Lucas’s younger brother dies suddenly, his world shatters. Desperate to escape his grief and the chaos at home, Lucas turns to running – the only thing that makes him feel free again. But freedom turns to fear when his brother’s ghost appears. As the hauntings intensify and his father disappears, Lucas’s life spirals out of control. Now he must confront the bullies at school, the truth about his friendship with another boy, and the mystery of why the ghost won’t let him go. A powerful, upper middle grade story about the courage it takes to run toward the truth. For fans of Patrick Ness, Simon James Green and Matt Goodfellow.
