Pauline Fisk has been writing stories for as long as she can remember. Her first book MIDNIGHT BLUE won the Smarties Award and was shortlisted for the Whitbread Award.

Her outstanding novels include FLYING FOR FRANKIE, TELLING THE SEA, TYGER POOL, SABRINA FLUDDE and THE MRS MARRIDGE PROJECT.

Pauline lives in Shrewsbury, England with her architect husband and five children, in a mediaevel house that was once the city gaol. She recently travelled in the rainforests of Belize, Central America, to research her new novel about a London boy who travels to Belize and inadvertently winds up in the jungle with a bunch of "do good" gap year students. IN THE TREES is out now.
