Penni Russon is a freelance editor with a special interest in books for children and teenagers. She studied Children's Literature at Monash University and then Professional Writing and Editing at RMIT. Penni began her writing life as a poet, and UNDINE and BREATHE are her first novels. She lives in Melbourne with her husband and two children.
The strength of Russon's writing and the intensity of the story itself will draw readers to Undine, but they will also find some familiar themes, such as unrequited love, reflected in her best friend, Trout . . . This novel offers readers a new and interesting magical twist as well as a surprise ending. -- School Library Journal starred review of Undine
