Emma Green biography

Emma Green is a British children’s author whose work is aimed at middle-grade readers. She grew up in Dorset and, after many years working for the police, moved into writing for young audiences.

Green’s debut children’s novel, The Not-So Great Escape, is published by Usborne. The story centres on two friends whose impulsive road trip involves an alpaca and forces them to confront difficult truths. The book draws on Green’s experience of keeping three alpacas, which informed details in the narrative.
