Christopher Edge is an award-winning children's author whose books have been translated into more than twenty languages. Christopher grew up in Manchester where he spent most of his childhood in the local library, dreaming up stories. After studying English at university, he worked in a record shop and as an English teacher before discovering a publishing job that allowed him to read lots of brilliant children's books. His novel The Many Worlds of Albie Bright won several children's book awards and was also nominated for the CILIP Carnegie Medal, as was The Jamie Drake Equation, which was also selected as one of the best new children's books of 2017 for Independent Bookshop Week. The Infinite Lives of Maisie Day was chosen by The Times as their Children's Book of the Week, whilst his other books include the critically-acclaimed Twelve Minutes to Midnight series. Christopher now lives in Gloucestershire with his wife and two children and still spends most of his time in the local library, dreaming up stories.
