Amanda Hughes was born and raised in the northwest of England, and two things have always fascinated her. The first is what it would have been like to live in any period of history before today. The second is what it would be like to live on another planet and have extra-terrestrials as friends. She's spent years of her working life trying to learn from the past and make a better future, and recently decided that writing books for the kids who will do just that is a good way to spend a day. Amanda moved to Perth in Western Australia with her husband Andy and their two children who inspired her stories. When she's not writing, Amanda loves spending time with her family in England and Perth and travelling to new places around the world. She also enjoys trying to teach her bonkers border collie, Toby, new tricks.For fun facts and information on Amanda's upcoming books, visit ajhugheschildrensbooks.com.
