About the author
Deborah Abela
57 books118 followersDeb knew she wanted to be a writer when she was 7 years old. Her first story was about a man made out of cheese. It wasn’t very good. She’s had much more practice writing since then and strangely enough her first writing job was for a kids’ show on channel Ten called “Cheez TV”. After 7 years of writing scripts about everything from llamas to bungy jumping and how to go to the toilet in outer space, Deb wrote her first novel - Max Remy Superspy Part 1: In Search of the Time and Space Machine.
It’s about a feisty girl called Max and her best friend Linden who travel the world as secret agents fighting bad guys. It’s an action packed series based on loads of adventures Deb had, just after she left school. She’s slept beside alligators, been harassed by monkeys (and who hasn’t) was almost
traded for a camel and was thrown in jail at gunpoint, twice.
Deb still claims her innocence to this day.
Together with sport icon Johnny Warren, Deb also created
the Jasper Zammit (Soccer Legend) series. It’s about a
young boy called Jasper and his best friend Lil, who love
their soccer and dream of being soccer legends, just like
Johnny. Deb lives in Sydney with her partner Todd, who
is almost as cute as Linden.

Summer 2019 Update:
I'm upping my game on the guided reading booklets for two reasons.
1) I feel like a crap reading teacher cause I hate guided reading but I can't change guided reading so I'm making these guided reading booklets the bomb and everything I'd do in whole-class reading.
2) My new class are so LOW and I'm going to be throwing everything at them to boost their grades.
Book's less emotional after the fifth time you've read this but it's so rich in language and I like it more than some of the other guided reading books I've got to do.
Onwards and upwards!

That was really emotional and heartwarming - 4.5*
Did not expect that from a guided reading book. This will be good to talk about in class because none of my class experience this. Well they deal with similar things but it will be nice to talk about these issues through the book.
