Longlisted for the inaugural Klaus Flugge Prize, an important new illustration prize for children's books. September 2015 Debut of the Month
A quest is a quest is a quest, even if the heroes are brightly coloured and quite ridiculously cute picturebook characters, in this case a unicorn called Blossom, a fairy called Twinkle, a gnome called Herbert, a faun called Hoofies (likes: making merry; dislikes: clothes), and a mushroom called Trevor! When the magical Crystals of Life are stolen from the Super Happy Magical Forest, it’s up to this band of friends to go after them, braving penguins, ghosts and even wasps on their journey. It’s all great fun with jokes on every page for children and adults alike and, despite the silliness, there’s a proper story about friendship and bravery, with an unexpected twist in the tail too. George R Martin eat your heart out!

About Matty Long
Matty Long has a First Class Degree in Illustration from Southampton Solent University and a Master’s Degree in Children’s Book Illustration from Anglia Ruskin University (Cambridge School of Art). He graduated from Anglia Ruskin in 2011 and has since been working at a bookshop in his home town of Cambridge, developing picture-book ideas in his spare time.
Most of his work is drawn by hand and coloured on a computer, but this will likely change when the felt-tip 3000 is invented. His picture books include the Super Happy Magic Forest series, Who Ate All the Bugs?, Turbo Bunnies, and Salty Dogs.
His debut picture book Super Happy Magic Forest was voted best new picture book of 2015 by a voting panel of 12,000 children, and was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize.
