Author Bio
Elizabeth Jade was born in North Yorkshire, England, in 1998 and moved with her family to Wellington when she was very young. Her early schooling did not go smoothly and she began home schooling at the age of 7. She stumbled into writing at the age of fourteen when she began to struggle with depression and anxiety, and quickly found her story ideas pouring out faster than she could get them onto paper. It wasn’t until the age of eighteen that she realised her struggles in school had been due to Aspergers Syndrome (an autistic spectrum disorder). She has always had a passion for animals and has volunteered at various animal rescues, so it seemed only natural that her stories would revolve around them.

I enjoyed reading Akea very much. It was a simple story, with stripped back writing, a few twists and turns, and a satisfying finish too. I liked the family feel that the book had. The illustrations complimented the writing well. I could imagine Akea making a great television show. I liked the visuals. I can’t wait to read more from Elizabeth Jade!
