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 older 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 resources for readers to explore.

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

Contact the author here.
