About
A book that celebrates friendship and the power of being true to yourself.' Frank Cottrell-Boyce
It's hard to measure up in a family with high expectations. But it's even harder when those people sometimes use you as an arm rest. And call you 'Peanut'.
Anzo is 11 years old and very, very short. Mum, Dad and his two uncles are extremely tall but they're also high achievers, obsessed with fulfilling their lifelong ambition of opening a restaurant together. Everyone has a role - but where does Anzo fit in? If only he could grow a few inches in height, then no one would be able to overlook him.
Then, overnight, Anzo starts to grow. Is life as a giant going to solve all his problems, or should he stop worrying and learn to just be himself? Kate Scott was born in London of American parents. She has lived in Hong Kong, Paris, Scotland and two tiny villages in France, but now lives in Dorset with her husband and two children. Kate's poems have been broadcast on BBC Radio 4 and her short fiction on Radio 4 Extra. Her first published children's novel was Boy in Tights which developed into the three-book series, SPIES IN DISGUISE. Kate leads poetry workshops for children in conjunction with Tor Theatre and will be exploring new ways to discuss writing and creativity with young readers across the UK in celebration of her new standalone novel GIANT.
