Two new books on the shelves – Everything you need to know about Angry Birds and the Skylanders!

I know, I know. I said it was going to be in radio silence for a while, but I had to pop up for a quick shout out for two of my books which hit the shelves today.

First up is The World of Angry Birds Official Guide, out from Puffin Books. Here’s the blurb:

Welcome to Piggy Island, home to the Angry Birds, Bad Piggies… and the mysterious Mighty Eagle.

In this Official Guide to the World of Angry Birds, Mighty Eagle takes you on a tour of the magical island, introducing you to all the heroes, villains and places.

Featuring interviews with the Birds and the Pigs, a history of famous feud and the stories behind Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons and Angry Birds Space.

The book is available from Amazon and all good bookshops, as is Skylanders: A to Z of Skylands, also published by Puffin. If you have a Skylanders fan in your house and you don’t know what to get them for their birthday, Christmas or ‘hurrah, it’s another Skylander book’-day (an official holiday in some parts of the world, I’m sure) this could be the book for you.

Here’s that all important blurb :

Containing a detailed A-Z of the Skylanders’ world, an exclusive Trigger Snappy toy and an awesome fold-out surprise, this is the perfect gift for Portal Masters!

For the first time ever, young Portal Masters can access an extensive A-Z guide to Skylands, featuring friends, enemies, locations, collectible items and of course the Skylanders themselves. Whether your favourite is an original Skylander such as Spyro or Gill Grunt, or a Giant like Tree Rex, they’re all here.

Plus, the exclusive limited edition Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure Sidekick is a must-have for any Skylanders collection. Put Trigger Snappy on your Portal of Power and he’ll scurry around all over your screen, accompanying your Skylanders through even the trickiest of challenges.

And don’t forget the awesome fold-out frieze, which will look terrific on display in the bedroom of any self-respecting Portal Master!

I can’t wait for my copy to arrive, mainly because I want to play with Trigger Snappy in the game. A big kid? Me? Never!

Get your copy of Skylanders: A-Z of Skylands today!

And that’s it. This blog post has been brought to you from the department of blatant plugs. I thank you!

Now, back to my deadlines…
