The first in a series of 4 books, Cricket Kidz and the Magic Cricket Ball is a fun and action-packed story of a group of young friends who love playing cricket, but their lives are changed when they discover that the cricket ball is a genie!

When they’re challenged to a match by the Big Kids, the genie grants them magical powers: flaming fast bowling, tornado-spinning deliveries, lightning-quick fielding, and much, much more.

The book is available now via Amazon and is written by Ben Rispin with illustrations by me. 

Cricket is a very technical sport, with each person given a specific role. The challenge for me was to ensure that the characters were standing in the right places, and that their feet, bats etc were all spot on in terms of the rules of the game. This is one of those books that young children can enjoy, even if they don't understand the game itself.
