About Jacqueline Harvey

Jacqueline Harvey worked in schools for many years but has had a passion for storytelling since she was a child.

She is the author of the popular “Alice-Miranda”, “Clementine Rose”, “Kensy and Max” and “Willa and Woof” series, which have sold almost two million copies in Australia alone. In 2022, she released a picture book, “That Cat”, illustrated by one of her former students, Kate Isobel Scott. Jacqueline's books have received numerous shortlistings and awards while her picture book, “The Sound of the Sea”, was a CBCA Honour Book.

Jacqueline speaks to thousands of young people at schools and festivals around the world and says the characters in her books are often made up of the best bits of children she’s met over the years. While she is not a twin, like Kensy and Max she does have excellent powers of observation and has always thought she’d make a great spy.

Jacqueline lives between Sydney, Australia, and Queenstown, New Zealand, and is currently working on more “Willa and Woof” adventures, several picture book projects and an exciting new middle-grade story.
