Jacqueline Harvey worked in schools for many years but has had a
passion for storytelling since she was a child.
She is the author of the popular Alice-Miranda, Clementine Rose,
Kensy and Max and Willa and Woof series, which have sold almost two
million copies in Australia alone. In 2022, she released a picture
book, That Cat, illustrated by one of her former students, Kate
Isobel Scott. The pair has since gone on to publish The Daring Tale
of Gloria the Great and the Kevin the Sheep series. Jacqueline's
books have received numerous shortlistings and awards while her
picture book, The Sound of the Sea, was a CBCA Honour Book.
Jacqueline speaks to thousands of young people at schools and
festivals around the world and says the characters in her books are
often made up of the best bits of children she's met over the
years. While she is not a twin, like Kensy and Max she does have
excellent powers of observation and has always thought she'd make a
great spy.
She has narrated over thirty audio books.
Jacqueline lives between Sydney, Australia, and Queenstown, New
Zealand. The first book in her new middle grade series, The Girl
and the Ghost, launches in 2025.
