First read of the half-term. Just brilliant to return to one of my favourite book worlds.

“Bridge of Storms” by @philipreeve.bsky.social

is another thrilling, rip-roaring adventure following on from “Thunder City”. Full of heart, peril and adventure. Just brilliant @scholasticuk.bsky.social

I've had a lot of people ask me if we're doing any public Adventuremice in London, and we are: this is your BIG CHANCE! 😀

Waterstones Trafalgar Square, Sat, 7 March, 11am!

It’s not a huge space, so book before it fills up! www.waterstones.com/events/reeve... 🐭🐭

I’m definitely signing for Forbidden Planet in London and Bristol, and for all my local bookshops here in Devon, like @thebookery.bsky.social so maybe one of them could help?

The cover of Bridge of Storms. A large motorised city is making its way across an even larger (but un-motorised) bridge which spans a deep crevasse. A girl on a gantry watches from the foreground.

My advance copies of BRIDGE OF STORMS just arrived, & it’s looking good. Seasonally snowy cover art by @ianmcque.bsky.social In US & British bookshops on 12th Feb (but pre-orderable today hint hint.)

Thanks, Jim! I’m working on the 3rd book at the moment, but I guess it won’t be published till 2027.

Two books to look out for in 2026 👀

Bridge of Storms is set in the world of Mortal Engines, and is the first of two sequels to Thunder City.

Of Mice and Mummies is the eighth book in the Adventuremice series, co-authored and illustrated by @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social

Happy New Year!

A blog post about the process of writing (& filming) Prairie Rascals. What was its original title? Which characters share dialogue with Mortal Engines assassins? Why does nobody talk when there’s a horse around? ALL IS REVEALED. philipreeveblog.blogspot.com/2025/12/writ...
