Jacqueline Harvey has combined a successful career in education with her love of a good story. She is the author of 14 novels for younger readers and a picture book, THE SOUND OF THE SEA, which was awarded Honour Book in the 2006 Children’s Book Council Awards. Her bestselling Alice-Miranda series centres on the life of Alice-Miranda Highton-Smith-Kennington-Jones, a perpetually positive and determined seven year old who takes herself off to boarding school because it appeals to her sense of adventure. The first book in the series, Alice-Miranda At School was released in Australia in February 2010 with Alice-Miranda On Holiday, Alice-Miranda Takes the Lead, Alice-Miranda At Sea, Alice-Miranda In New York, Alice-Miranda Shows the Way and Alice-Miranda In Paris following at six month intervals. Jacqueline is currently contracted to write 12 Alice-Miranda books. She has a new series for younger readers (5-9 year olds) which launched in Australia in September 2012. Jacqueline is contracted to write eight Clementine-Rose books with Random House Australia. For more information go to www.jacquelineharvey.com.au

Sydney Children's Festival Saturday 1 October

Hello Friends,
If you want something fun to do tomorrow I can highly recommend that you head out to Carriageworks and meet my best grown up friend Jacqueline Harvey who will be having fun as part of the Blue Team in the Books and Brains Quiz, then spending 15 minutes talking about me and my adventures. The Quiz is on at 12.00 and then Short and Sharp starts at 1.00pm.
Hope to see you there.
Lots of love,
Alice-Miranda xxx
