Christopher Edge

Christopher Edge is a British author of science-tinged fiction for children, raised in Manchester and now living in Gloucestershire.

He is also the author of the Penelope Tredwell Mysteries, launched with Twelve Minutes to Midnight and following a Victorian magazine editor turned detective, and of the interactive Escape Room and Fear Files series. His novels have drawn four Carnegie Medal nominations and won the STEAM Children's Book Prize and the Brilliant Book Award; Escape Room was named a Times Children's Book of the Week.
