Autistically Me by Bradley Riches is a deeply moving, inspiring and refreshingly honest book from one of the UK’s brightest young stars. Best known for his breakout role in Netflix smash hit Heartstopper, becoming a firm fan favourite on Celebrity Big Brother, and now starring in Emmerdale, Bradley bravely opens up about living with autism and the journey that took him from being a largely non-verbal little boy to a confident actor, advocate and role model for an entire generation.
In this powerful and uplifting book, Bradley shares the realities of growing up feeling different, navigating school, friendships, anxiety and self-doubt, while discovering the strength in embracing exactly who he is. Full of warmth, humour and heart, Autistically Me is not only Bradley’s personal story, but a celebration of neurodiversity, individuality and finding your voice in a world that often expects people to fit into boxes.

WO1 DR JOHNSON BEHARRY VC COG
Hero: The Incredible True Story of Courage Under Fire is an inspiring and unforgettable children’s book based on the extraordinary real-life story of Johnson Beharry VC — one of Britain’s most courageous modern-day heroes. Adapted for younger readers, the book tells the remarkable journey of a young Grenadian-born soldier who overcame adversity, fear and unimaginable danger to become one of the youngest living recipients of the Victoria Cross, Britain’s highest military honour for bravery.
Serving in Kosovo, Northern Ireland and Iraq, Johnson displayed extraordinary courage under enemy fire, risking his own life repeatedly to save fellow soldiers during terrifying attacks in Iraq in 2004. His bravery, determination and selflessness captured the admiration of the nation and turned him into a true role model for young people everywhere.
What makes this book so powerful is that it is not simply a story about war or medals — it is about resilience, discipline, courage and believing that no matter where you come from, you can achieve greatness through determination and heart. Johnson’s story continues to inspire young readers, particularly through his work speaking in schools, youth centres and prisons, encouraging young people to stay away from crime and gang culture and believe in a better future for themselves.
We are incredibly proud to have worked alongside Johnson Beharry on this important project and to have helped bring such a powerful and inspirational story to a new generation of readers. Seeing young people engage with Johnson’s journey and learn about courage, perseverance and loyalty through his story has been hugely rewarding.
Jaine Brent personally closed the publishing deal for this inspiring project and worked closely on every stage surrounding the book’s launch, publicity and media strategy. With her passion for powerful storytelling and meaningful campaigns, Jaine helped position Johnson’s remarkable story not just as a military memoir for younger readers, but as an uplifting and educational book capable of inspiring children and young adults across the UK and beyond.
