The JUST! series is narrated by a character loosely based on myself as a kid. The first book, Just Tricking!, was published in 1997 and consists of ten short stories in which the fictional Andy plays all the practical jokes that I might have thought about but was never brave/foolhardy to actually do in real life.
This was not only my first published book, but also the first book where Terry Denton and I worked together. Rather than supplying conventional illustrations, Terry filled the margins of the books with mischievous cartoons & doodles, sometimes related to the stories (but more often not!). Just Tricking! was followed by Just Annoying!, Just Stupid!, Just Crazy!, Just Disgusting!, Just Shocking!, Just Macbeth! and Just Doomed!
