Sue Hampton

    Sue vďačí za svoju lásku k slovám svojmu otcovi a za svoje rozprávačské schopnosti imaginatívnemu detstvu - a deťom, ktoré mnoho rokov učila, kým sa nestala autorkou na plný úväzok. Ako učiteľka písala vianočné predstavenia a najviac milovala „Čas na rozprávku“. Inšpirovaná Michaelom Morpurgom napísala THE WATERHOUSE GIRL, príbeh Daisy, dievčaťa, ktoré, rovnako ako ona sama, trpí alopéciou, a bola nadšená, keď jej zavolal, aby jej povedal, že kniha je prenikavá, dojemná a krásne napísaná. Teraz má šestnásť románov pre vekovú kategóriu od 6 do 16 rokov aj starších a píše historické, futuristické a súčasné príbehy, fantasy, dobrodružstvá a záhady. Sue si stále užíva prácu s deťmi, keď ju školy pozývajú, aby inšpirovala ich žiakov.
