Hello! My name is Alake Pilgrim and I'm a Caribbean author and video producer, who writes for children and adults. You can see more about my bio and books here - https://www.bocaslitfest.com/participant/alake-pilgrim/. My book for 9+ readers, "Zo and the Forest of Secrets" (2022) was published by Knights Of Media (the '22 British Book Awards' Childrens Book Publisher of the Year) and shortlisted for the Bocas Lit Fest Children's Book Prize. Book 2 is out from Knights Of in 2024. 

ZO is a series of fantasy adventures starring two children, Zo Joseph and Adri Khan, on the run in nature from strange creatures and dangerous adults who are after them and their gifts. The books help readers to appreciate the natural environment of the Caribbean, while giving our folklore a futuristic twist.
