About the Author:
Anne Fine has been an acknowledged top author in the children's book world since her first book was published in the mid 1970s, and has now written more than forty books and won virtually every major award going, including the Carnegie Medal (more than once), the Whitbread Children's Award, the Guardian Children's Fiction Award, the Smarties Prize and others. The Children's Laureate from 2001-2003, Anne is also very funny and young readers love her lack of hypocrisy about the family and her honesty about how people can behave. She lives in the North-East. 'One of the sharpest and most humorous observers of the human condition writing today for the young' School Librarian 'She is translated into 26 languages and has regularly won every major children's literary award in the land, including the Carnegie Medal twice and the Whitbread Children's Novel award twice . . . There are few more influential, or more unfailingly intelligent, authors at work' Scotsman 'A subversively wicked gift for exploring family tensions' Independent
Review:
"Anne Fine's acerbic take on life often assumes a level of sophistication in her young readers. Insights into the emotional lives of grown ups can appeal to children and the misunderstandings that surround Harry and Tristram's trip create comic situations that make the readers, for once, the knowing ones" -- Nicolette Jones * The Sunday Times * "Family relationships come under close scrutiny in this book, which is ideal for the summer holidays" * The Bookseller * "A lively, witty, rain-drenched tale full of big beards, from one of our best children's writers" -- Daniel Hahn * Independent on Sunday * "This is a most enjoyable book" -- Mary Arrigan * Irish Examiner * "This is Anne Fine at her hilarious best" -- Wendy Cooling * Child Education *
