About the Author

Ivan was born in a bike shop, or so he thought for the vast majority of his childhood. It was these sorts of misunderstandings and mistakes that crafted him into the writer he is today. He wrote his first set of children's books, the multiple award-nominated Casper Candlewacks series, while studying philosophy at university, and enjoyed touring schools so much that he cut out the middleman and became a primary teacher.

Now living in a shed in North London, Ivan splits his time between teaching, writing and collecting ginger-haired pets. His current tally is two, but he's accepting donations. His collection of 100 screen-free games, The Floor is Lava, has become an internationally published online bestseller, so in an effort to outdo himself, this sequel, Bored? Games! contains 101.


Ivan appeared as a contestant on the first UK series of The Traitors on the BBC.
