About this title

About the Author

Melanie Cellier grew up on a staple diet of books, books, and more books. And although she got older she never stopped loving children’s and young adult novels. She always wanted to write one herself, but it took three careers and three different continents before she actually managed it. She now feels incredibly fortunate to spend her time writing from her home in Adelaide, Australia where she keeps an eye out for koalas in the backyard. Her staple diet hasn’t changed much, although she’s added choc mint rooibos tea and Chicken Crimpies to the list. Her young adult Four Kingdoms and Beyond the Four Kingdoms series are made up of linked stand-alone stories that retell classic fairy tales.
