Over My Dead Body (2023) is a comedy novel in which a girl named Joanna must work with the ghost of a Victorian schoolboy to solve a mystery, and it carries the quick wit and broad humour of Evans’s best series work into a self-contained story. The Hidden World of Magical Creatures is an illustrated reference-style book cataloguing fictional creatures, sitting closer to her picture book output than her chapter novels.
That’ll Teach Her (2025) marks a shift toward older readers, tackling themes more suited to a secondary school audience and showing Evans willing to move beyond the 8-12 age bracket she built her career on. The standalone format gives her room to experiment with different tones and formats, and this small collection reflects that variety. Readers who have finished all her series work will find fresh material here rather than more of the same.
