Tim Bowler’s standalone novels span over two decades, from Midget in 1994 to Game Changer in 2015. These books are psychological thrillers written for a young adult audience, and they tend to feature teenagers dealing with intense, often mysterious situations. Bowler’s writing blends suspense with emotional themes like loss, fear, and self-discovery.
The most celebrated of these novels is River Boy, which won the Carnegie Medal in 1997. It tells the story of a girl spending a summer with her dying grandfather and was recognized as the best children’s book by a British author that year. Other notable titles include Frozen Fire, a philosophical thriller about a boy who receives a strange phone call, and Storm Catchers, a kidnapping story set on the coast of Devon.
