Gary Panton's headshot

Hi! I’m Gary Panton, the author of The Notwitches, a children’s comedy-adventure story about a little girl, her horrible aunts and a mission to find the one ingredient needed to cast a very special magic spell. The book and its upcoming sequel are both aimed at children aged 7+, and contain themes of friendship and family, as well as a focus on the importance of laughter and silliness.

I’ve also written a number of fun non-fiction books for kids, including The Ultimate Challenge Book and The Best Would You Rather Book, and I’ve written books for popular brands including Hey Duggee, Bluey and The Beano. My Hey Duggee touch-and-feel book, Animals, was number one in the children’s pre-school chart for several weeks.
