Geraldine McChaughreen è una autrice britannica molto apprezzata, nota principalmente per i suoi lavori nei libri per bambini e romanzi per giovani adulti. Ha scritto oltre 170 romanzi in carriera, tra cui popolari serie come la Orchard Myths series, la Cissy Sissney series, The Heroes series, la Roman Myths series, e la Monacello series. Il suo lavoro è stato tradotto in più di 44 lingue straniere e ha vinto numerosi premi prestigiosi.

Nata nel 1951 a North London, McChaughreen ha studiato alla Christ Church College of Education, Canterbury ed ha lavorato in una casa editrice di Londra per 10 anni prima di diventare una scrittrice a tempo pieno nel 1988. Ha scritto oltre 120 libri, 50 brevi pièces per scuole e un dramma radiofonico. I suoi romanzi per adulti includono Fires’ Astonishment (1990) e The Ideal Wife (1997), ma è meglio conosciuta per i suoi libri per bambini. Ha vinto il Carnegie Medal due volte, insieme ad un Michael L. Printz Award e ad altri premi prestigiosi. McChaughreen ha la capacità unica di scrivere per bambini di tutte le età, dai primi lettori e libri illustrati a romanzi e raccolte di storie per bambini.

Uno dei momenti salienti della carriera di McChaughreen è stata la scrittura del sequel ufficiale di Peter Pan chiamato Peter Pan in Scarlet, che è stato commissionato dall'intestatario del copyright di Peter Pan, Great Ormond Street Hospital. Il libro è stato pubblicato nel 2004 e tradotto in molte lingue. Altri lavori notevoli di McChaughreen includono A Little Lower than the Angels (1987), Gold Dust (1993), e Not the End of the World (2004), ciascuno dei quali ha vinto il Whitbread Children’s Book Award. Ha anche scritto diverse raccolte di storie, tra cui storie bibliche e fiabe, ed è nota per la sua riscrittura di classici come The Canterbury Tales, The Odyssey, Moby Dick e El Cid.

McChaughreen vive nel Berkshire e il suo libro, Not the End of the World, sta attualmente essere adattato per il palcoscenico. Continua a scrivere e ispirare i giovani lettori con le sue storie immaginative e coinvolgenti.
