Katherine Rundell Pack Pack

Who’s been making the biggest noise since Philip Pullman, and is described by Jacqueline Wilson as ‘an ultra stylish writer with a true gift for imaginative storytelling’? Here’s a clue: she based her second book, Rooftoppers, on her real-life habit of prancing about on the roofs of Oxford colleges. (She doesn’t just write about adventures; she actually lives them.) The answer is Katherine Rundell: a young sensation whose lyrical writing sweeps you away on intense and far-flung adventures. The snowy Russian wilds. The Amazon jungle. The rooftops of Paris.
