Benjamin Hulme-Cross has written over thirty books for struggling readers. Prior to full time writing, Ben worked as English Literature Publisher for an international publishing company, commissioning and editing novels and plays for secondary schools.

Growing up in London, I spent a lot of time sitting on the Underground, daydreaming and reading books. Historical adventures in far-flung lands were always my favourites, and I used to love visiting castles and ruins.
After I left home, I lived in Japan for a while and learned all about the Samurai. Now I´ve swapped the city for the countryside and as well as reading books I also write stories and plays for young people.
The thing I like most about being a writer is playing around with ideas for stories in my head, which is daydreaming really so not much has changed!
