About John Marsden: John Marsden decided that he wanted to be an author when he was nine years old. For seven years he attended the Kings School Parramatta, which is a strict military school in Sydney. John then went on to the University of Sydney to study law. He dropped out because he thought to work with law for the rest of his life would be really boring. John drifted around for about 10 years looking for a job, and he earned just enough money to support himself. At the age of 28, John started a teaching course. He became even more interested in writing and published his first book ‘So much to tell you’. John has now sold more than two and a half million books in Australia alone. He is popular all over the world and some of his books were translated into about 10 other languages. John is an international best seller and has won many major awards. =====
