Luke discussing his early writing and the Mister Bubble series on Estuary TV.
Luke Mathius Harlow is a Grimsby primary school teacher and children's author. He holds a Bachelor of Science (Hons) degree in Computer Information Systems from the University of Lincoln.
He is the creator of the popular Mister Bubble picture book series for early readers (illustrated by Jasmine Todd), as well as The Five Fictions of Fiveways School—a middle-grade fantasy series featuring full-colour oil artwork by Shar Khalifa. The first book in the series, Imogen Nayshún, is out now!
Combining whimsical adventures with gentle life lessons, Luke’s books are designed to both entertain young minds and inspire a lifelong love of reading.
“Because you squeezed my bottle, I will grant you three wishes!” announced Mister Bubble.
“Any three you want! But BEWARE... if your wishes are not kind and good, they may go badly, badly wrong!”
When he's not writing for children, Luke is also the author of Still Haven't Been to Flamingo Land: A Grimsby Childhood, a comic memoir about growing up skint, loud, and endlessly rehoused in 1990s Grimsby. It's not one for the kids — but if you enjoyed Mister Bubble's sense of mischief, you'll probably enjoy where it came from. (Audiobook Coming Soon!)
