Anthony Horowitz is our Children's Author for September!

He knew from a very early age, without doubt, that he would be a writer.

He has had a varied career, writing over 50 books.

His most famous and successful books are the hugely popular teenage spy series ‘Alex Rider’. The first book, Stormbreaker, was written in 2000, and the series is still going strong and includes graphic novel editions, a film and a TV series.

He gets his inspiration everywhere, even walking the dog. He has been fortunate to travel a lot and has visited as many of the locations in his books as possible, to get a sense of place, but also new ideas.

His advice for aspiring young writers?
Read a lot! Enjoy your writing and never give up.

You can find a selection of his books to loan on children's floor 1 😃
