About the author

Here is some brief information about myself.

I’m interested in science because it helps us to understand the world. I enjoy finding out about new things and then working out how to write about them in a way that is both clear (and accurate) but which also conveys my own excitement and interest. I particularly like writing books that are fun, and I have been lucky to have had so many chances to do so.

I was born in Yorkshire in England, but grew up in Stranraer, a small town in south-west Scotland. I graduated from Edinburgh University and then came down to London, where I have lived ever since. I enjoy reading novels, watching films, and walking in the countryside.

Reviews

[Barbara · Rating 2 out of 5]

Filled with photographs that show the moves of hip-hop, this introductory title provides a tiny bit of history for the dance as well as some of the individuals associated with it. Although the author explains several of the moves in detail so that anyone interested could try them out, they are quite tricky and require great physical strength and dexterity. I came away from the book even more impressed than I had been. I wish there had been more information and a step-by-step guide provided. The title is part of the Love to Dance series.
