James Moloney is one of Australia’s leading writers for children and young adults. His passion for story telling has seen him produce more than forty books across the age range from ‘seven to seventeen year-olds.’ James grew up in Brisbane, but a period teaching indigenous children led to his ground-breaking novels Dougy, Angela and Gracey which take an unflinching look at Australian racism and identity. His fantasy, The Book of Lies, brings him more emails from readers than any other book and prompted further ventures into this genre with the Silvermay Sagas. James most recent novel is The Beauty is in the Walking, a YA novel about a young man with cerebral palsy.
