About The Author

Meg McKinlay grew up in Bendigo, Victoria, in a book-loving, TV- and car-free household. On the long and winding path to becoming a children’s writer, she has worked a variety of jobs including swim instructor, tour guide, translator and teacher. These days, she lives with her family near the ocean in Fremantle and is an Honorary Research Associate at the University of Western Australia, where she has taught Australian Literature, Japanese, and Creative Writing. Meg divides her time between teaching and writing, a balance that swings wildly between chaos and calm. She is always busy cooking up more books.

Industry Reviews

A wonderfully layered story - reading it is like being gradually immersed in a pool of water as each layer of the narrative slowly washes over you ... There isn't a dull moment in this book. The story is full of human connections that will delight readers and there is a whimsy to the text that makes it a great read for all ages * Bookseller+Publisher *
Meg McKinlay expertly guides her readers through a well-plotted coming of age story that's beautifully atmospheric ... A real page turner. * Sunday Age *
