Jenny McLachlan

Jenny McLachlan

Jenny McLachlan spent 13 years of her life teaching English: a job that combined her passion for the written word with her passion for showing off. It also provided her with the inspiration for her books. In the summer of 2014 she became a fulltime writer.

Jenny lives by the seaside with her husband and two small but fierce girls. In addition to writing, she enjoys exploring the South Downs, running and, if it will embarrass her husband enough, jiving in any vaguely suitable situation.

Books

  • Flirty Dancing

    Flirty Dancing

    Author: Jenny McLachlan
    Publisher: Bloomsbury
    Interest age: 12+
    Reading age: 12+

    First of four books, this is smart, funny writing, engagingly balancing the serious stuff - bullying, first love, friendship - with the joy of lindy hop and aerial moves.

  • Truly Wildly Deeply

    Truly Wildly Deeply

    Author: Jenny McLachlan
    Publisher: Bloomsbury
    Interest age: 12-14
    Reading age: 11+

    Although a love story, this book is also about peer pressure, family, cultural identity, and having the courage to make one’s own way. Main character Annie is forthright and witty, and has cerebral palsy (although that's not central to the plot). An upbeat story with heart.
