A creepy madcap adventure for readers aged 12+


“Dirk Jones is NOT the Chosen One is a quirky, creepy, madcap zombie adventure bursting with humour, heart and outrageous surprises. Dirk is a wonderfully relatable lead - awkward, honest and hilariously out of their depth - as they stumble into an apocalypse they definitely didn’t sign up for. Fast-paced, funny and deliciously weird, it’s the perfect read for early teens who love chaotic adventures with big personality."
~Sarah

Dirk isn’t the chosen one. Not even close. So how did they end up in the middle of a potential apocalypse?

All Dirk wanted was to escape another argument with their parents and go for a nice quiet coffee. Instead, they’ve been kidnapped by agents, attacked by mal-realmers and forced to wear a boiler suit that they’re pretty sure someone died in.

When Dirk is taken to Base, a secret underground …well … base, they learn way more than they need to. More about other realms, more about the battle between good and evil, and more about the absolutely terrifying Violent Jack, an evil mal-realmer determined to bring about the end of the world.

Both sides need the chosen one. But there’s not a lot Dirk can do about it, is there? It’s not like it’s them.

Unfortunately for Dirk, not everyone knows that.

Gatlin Perrin is a North Walian living in London. They tell folktales to children, lecture to university students and run workshops for adults. Essentially, they’re trying to ruin as many generations as possible.

The activity pack includes stickers, book club-style questions to ponder and a welcome note from Gatlin Perrin. There's a recipe for barra brith to enjoy and a Welsh language word puzzle to solve, alongside jokes and further reading recommendations.

Activity packs are a handy A5 size and printed on uncoated paper which is fully recyclable.
