Boffin Boy a series of twelve manga styled books by the popular chidren's book author David Orme and published by Ransom Books, features the adventures of a bespectacled geeky kid and his ancient Ninja sidekick. These books have been a joy to work on both in terms of the superb writing by David and the wonderfully hands off treatment from publisher Ransom Books. The First series has been nominated for a Kate Greenaway Award for illustration for 2008.
