Kids’ authors have been asked by The Guardian Australia to answer some of the most burning questions their fans ever wanted to ask.
First up for the challenge was author Andy Griffiths who, with illustrator Terry Denton, is best known for the Treehouse book series, with the latest instalment coming later this year.
Ex-teacher and former professional show off, Andy Griffiths, is Australia’s number-one children’s author and an award-winning writer. Andy lives in Australia with his family, and is a passionate advocate for children’s literacy.
Always up for interacting with his fans, Griffiths agreed to a cheeky interrogation from some of his biggest fans, even letting on to some top secrets!
