Journey to the Centre of My Brain
by James Carter
Take a sneak peek into James Carter's weird and wonderful brain in this fun new poetry collection.
The 50 poems in the book are carefully chosen - James scrapped over a thousand poems in order to select the ones he wanted to include. Tackling subjects as varied as mosquitoes, the moon and the school staff room, Carter's poems range from rib-tickling to thought provoking.
Journey to the Centre of My Brain is a slim volume offering an accessible introduction to poetry for both boy and girls.

James Carter
After fifteen years of writing, performing and recording music (whilst doing a series of jobs from job centre interviewer to recruitment consultant), James went off to Reading University to do a B.Ed degree in primary education and an MA in children's literature.
Now a prize-winning poet and guitarist, James gives lively, high-energy poetry performances with the express intention of captivating and motivating young writers. The author of nine popular children's poetry titles, James' latest title published by Macmillan Children's Books Journey to the Centre of My Brain is a collection of poems for children packed with gorgeous thoughts, dreams and moments as he takes us on a trip to space, introduces us to tigers, mammoths, clouds and bugs and much more. James Carter lives in Wallingford with his four guitars, three ukuleles, two daughters and one wife.
