With six books under his belt and three more to be published next month, he follows in his little sister’s footsteps (who debuted as an author at the tender age of five and by the age of eight, has published nine books), and continues to prove that age is no barrier to creativity and accomplishment.

He’s read over 800 books to date and never stops requesting new books. He has been interviewed by and featured on diverse media platforms, including BBC Radio Merseyside and the Liverpool Echo.
Caleb’s dedication to sharing his love of reading and writing extends beyond his own books.
