About the Author

Hazel Edwards is a Melbourne based author who writes books and scripts for children and adults. Picture book 'There's a Hippopotamus on our Roof Eating Cake' is her best known title which has been continually in print for 27 years and adapted for stage, radio, video and puppetry as well as widely translated. We have included her in this list because some of her Young Adult fiction has a mysterious bent and it could be a useful introduction for teenagers.
