My name is Sandy Fussell and I write historical fiction – books set in the past. Polar Boy is about a brother and sister who lived above the Arctic Circle 800 years ago and the Samurai Kids lived in Japan almost 400 years ago. I write about ancient history because I find it interesting. I like to imagine what it was like to live then. People had to be more resourceful, they couldn’t ring anyone for help.
Kids, no older than you, had amazing adventures. In my stories a boy saves his people from a bear, a group of kids stop a war and in my next book Jaguar Warrior, a boy runs from one Aztec city to another to deliver a life saving message.
Writing is heaps of fun and history is an exciting place to be.
Wellington City Libraries are running free school holiday activities at libraries around town to celebrate New Zealand Book Month.
Design a book cover, learn how to illustrate like a pro, make dog collars for Hairy Maclary, have fun with food and more!
