About the author - Theresa Breslin
Theresa was born and brought up in a small town in the middle of Scotland close to castles, old burial grounds and the Roman Wall, all of which helped fuel an active imagination as a child, further developed by a love of reading.
She loves writing humorous stories where children cause confusion, and triumph over adult foolishness.
She won the Carnegie Medal for 'Whispers in the Graveyard', her compelling story of a dyslexic boy.
