In 2007, Philip took a new direction with publication of Here Lies Arthur, a story which this time looks back into history. Philip Reeve is now known as one of the leading writers for young adults, with his every book achieving huge sales, glowing review coverage and award nominations. Since Mortal Engines's release in 2001, followers and fans of the series have been growing exponentially. It was shortlisted for several awards and was the Gold Award winner at the Nestle Smarties Book Prize 2002 and the winner of the Blue Peter Book of the Year at the 2003 Awards. A magical and unique read, it immediately caught the attention of reviewers and book buyers. It is a gripping adventure story set in an inspired fantasy world, where moving cities trawl the globe. Mortal Engines defies easy categorisation.
Philip has been writing stories since he was five, but Mortal Engines was the first to be published. Philip then began illustrating and has since provided cartoons for around forty children's books, including the best-selling Horrible Histories, Murderous Maths and Dead Famous series. Philip Reeve was born and raised in Brighton, where he worked in a bookshop for a number of years while also co-writing, producing and directing a number of no-budget theatre projects.
