Books to Save the World

Kathryn Rose Newey writes quirky, interactive Environmental Fiction, Animal Rights Fiction and Science Fiction novels for ages 9-14 and any other young-at-heart readers, eco-warriors and universe explorers.

As an educator as well as an author, she’s keen to expand minds. So besides the story, each novel also contains educational materials for readers to explore, and there are plenty of free resources such as worksheets, poems, videos and posters available from her website – simply sign up to get access.

When she’s not writing, she’s probably in her wildlife-friendly, unruly garden (or wishes she was) with Jessie the Jack Russell, who claims to be the world’s smartest dog, and insists on having her own website.
