Andy Mulligan

Andy Mulligan's books explore friendship, inequality, school, danger, ingenuity, and young people navigating systems that underestimate them. Trash follows boys whose discovery draws them into corruption and pursuit, making resourcefulness a means of survival. Ribblestrop, Return to Ribblestrop, and Ribblestrop Forever! turn a chaotic school into a setting where disorder, risk, and loyalty repeatedly collide.

The Boy with Two Heads uses an impossible transformation to test identity and social response. Dog approaches companionship and responsibility through another kind of bond. Mulligan's stories balance comic energy with serious stakes, giving young characters agency without pretending that courage removes the structures working against them.
