With over three quarters of a million books sold in Australia and New Zealand, Susannah McFarlane is the author of some of Australia's most popular children's and tween fiction series, including EJ12 Girl Hero, Boy vs Beast and Little Mates.
While writing stories that kids love to read, Susannah is passionate about creating positve role models for her young readers – so whether it's a girl hero foiling evil plots, a boy border guard saving the world from rampaging beasts or a kind koala doing good deeds, all of her stories feature heroes.
EJ12 Girl Hero is Australia's most popular adventure series for young girls – with over a quarter of million books sold and a fan base of thousands interacting daily with the website – this series has really struck a chord with young girls at a crucial time.
-I created EJ12 because I couldn't find books for my daughter featuring girls as the hero rather than the sidekick,' Susannah says.
-What I'm hearing now from the thousands of girls that contact me is that they're starting to get this message – they're starting to believe they can kick the winning goal, skipper the boat or run the country.'
But at a time when the media is inundated with negative discourse about women and unhealthy female role models, Susannah feels it's time to place real girl heroes firmly back in the spotlight.
-We need to show our girls that there are lots of girl heroes, more often. We need to show them 'girl power" is more than just a slogan – it's a reality.'
To celebrate the release of Time to Shine, Susannah will be doing a series of -Code Cracking and Hero Hunting' events with children around the country.
