"Sebastian Darke" is the author's debut work for children and is pitched squarely at the 9+ market. Featuring the eponymous hero (a would-be jester desperate to make money, let alone people laugh); a shaggy, sarcastic "buffalope" called Max who can talk (and does, at great length); and Cornelius, an unlikely pint-size warrior who could give Zorro a run for his money. This is a fast, funny story that will grip readers from the very first page.

<p>"The Lord of Laughter, the Monarch of Mirth, the King of Comedy" - if only bumbling Sebastian Darke could live up to these epithets and be a successful jester like his father. The problem is, Sebastian's never been very funny. But after his father's death, with no choice but to beg in the streets, the half-human, half-elf teen sets off with Max, his father's slightly cynical and fully self-important Buffalope, to offer his services as a jester to King Septimus of Keladon--rumored to be one of the richest monarchs in the world. On the way, the pair meets Captain Cornelius Drummel, small in stature but the fiercest of fighters. The three rescue the fair princess and soon-to-be-queen, Kerin, who's being held captive by brigands, and happily escort her back home. If only Sebastian knew that the kidnapping was part of a plot engineered by the evil King Septimus. A plot that poor Sebastian has now foiled. No one would dare challenge the king. No one but a fool.</p>

MAX HASTINGS

MOLLIE HARRIS

<p>Max, the talking buffalope, has an enquiring mind, a keen sense of humour, and a grumpy disposition. Orphaned by the villainous Neruvians, sold off as a slave to the callous Berundians, he escapes into the wilderness, is attacked by vicious lupers, and rescued in the nick of time by the jester, Alexander Darke.\nAlexander is young and fairly unsuccessful. Done out in a costume of many colours, he totes his caravan around, entertaining people with (mostly bad) jokes. Max settles in with Alexander and his elvish wife, Sarah. He makes himself indispensable and the partnership prospers. Word gets around, and a Royal Command Performance is arranged. They are top of the bill. But everything that can go wrong goes wrong.... hilarously. The hitherto lugubrious King Cletus is enchanted. Stars overnight, they see off their arch-rival, the bad comic Jonathan Jolly.\nSarah finds that she is expecting a happy event. Fetch the midwife! A nightmare journey back. Max to the rescue again! Sebastian Darke is born.</p>
