Rachael King is one of New Zealand’s best-loved writers for children. Her novels often reflect her love for the Scottish folklore of her ancestors––the weirder the better. When she was young, she read fantasy books voraciously and galloped horses bareback along beaches. Secrets at Red Rocks won New Zealand’s longest-running literary award, the Esther Glen Medal, and has been adapted into an Emmy Award–winning television series for BYUtv. Her other novels for young people include Song of the Saltings and the multi award-winning The Grimmelings. She holds an MA in creative writing from Victoria University in Wellington.
