Christopher Edge biography

Christopher Edge is a British children’s author whose work blends scientific ideas with imaginative storytelling. Born in Manchester, he spent much of his childhood in local libraries, nurturing a passion for reading and writing.

Before becoming a full-time writer, Edge worked as an English teacher and in educational publishing. He has also served as a freelance education consultant, contributing to initiatives aimed at encouraging children to read.

Edge’s novels often explore complex scientific concepts through accessible narratives.
