Darren Simpson

    Darren Simpson schrijft levendige, weerbarstige fictie voor kinderen, waarbij hij vaak buitenaardse settings en onconventionele personages gebruikt.

Zijn aanpak is onconventioneel en biedt lezers een onderscheidend perspectief op jeugdervaringen en de reis van het volwassen worden.
