Could you imagine a colour that's never been discovered?

Young readers will love searching for the missing colour in this 'philosophy for kids' tale.

This is my debut picture book.

Praise for 'My Zombie Dog'

The perfect gift for a boy turning 14, a book called My Zombie Dog by Charmaine Clancy, especially if he’s already got a pet that he can curl up with and read this great story too.

YR Reads

A super-fun, light-hearted zombie tale for middle grade readers. Plot tied up nicely and characters are likeable. Boys in my year 7 classes have enjoyed this one.

A. Laurens

My Zombie Dog is a funny and quirky tale of a boy, his little sister and a very unusual dog. There is a mystery to be solved and the twist in the tail of the story was fabulous. Clancy's work is fresh and exciting.
