Together with newsreader Chris Smith, BBC Radio DJ Greg James wrote the children's book series Kid Normal, a 6-book series about a normal boy living in a superhero world and trying to get through school. The first one was published by Bloomsbury and released in 2017 in the UK and the second one in 2018. The first book was named the biggest-selling children's debut of the year and have sold over 100,000 copies combined. The books have also been released in 19 other languages around the world. They also created The Great Dream Robbery book together as well. Well, the pair are working on a new superhero book series called Super Ghost, from Puffin for the end of the year. Greg James told Clive Anderson on BBC Radio 4's Loose Ends that "it's about a superhero dying in the first chapter, who then lives through a child." Greg James was surprised to discover that Clive Anderson knew about this project since it was still meant to be a secret. However, Bleeding Cool has been able to finagle out a few more details.
