Melanie
La'Brooy

Melanie La’Brooy writes funny and action-packed fantasy adventure novels that tackle serious themes. For fourteen years Melanie travelled the world, living in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East. She previously wrote five books for adults, which were published in Australia and internationally, before realising that writing for kids was 100 times more fun (and 1000 times harder). The multi-award-winning The Wintrish Girl, the first book in the Talismans of Fate series, was her debut novel for children. The second book in the series, The Lost History, is out now. Melanie’s surname is pronounced La-Broy, like boy but with an r. It’s confusing, she knows.
