About the author
Julia Edwards
8 books3 followersJulia writes books. She is the author of The Scar Gatherer series, seven time-travel adventures for 8-12 year olds, which allowed her to spend several years in parts of the past she's always wanted to visit. You can find out lots more about these books on www.scargatherer.co.uk.
Julia's latest book is completely different, however. 'Unlucky for Some' is a collection of thirteen comic and vengeful short stories for kids. It's the first time she has revealed to her readers how nasty she really is. Find out more at www.juliaedwardsbooks.com.
Julia lives in Salisbury in the UK and is married to a kind but eccentric man who makes giant models of creepy-crawlies for fun. They have three sons who between them own two ferrets, two budgies and nine chickens. Julia feels this is a lot more than she signed up to, especially since none of these creatures does anything to scare away the deer who maraud through her garden, eating the flowers.
She is currently wondering what to write next.

Fast moving story with lots of action. Set in viking times with lots of fascinating details about how people lived, ate, bathed etc which I can visualise quite clearly some weeks after reading the books. The time travel aspect allows an easy comparison of day to day life then and now.
As an adult reader, it took me around 3 hours to read so I imagine that this would be an ideal book for a child in the target audience of 9-12.
