About the Author

Helen Orme is the author of The Siti's Sisters Series as well as part of the Trailblazers, Thunderbolts and Streetwise Series, all published by Ransom. Helen was a teacher for nearly thirty years, working as a SENCO in a large comprehensive school, as an advisory teacher for IT and as teacher-in-charge of a pupil referral unit. She considers these experiences to have been invaluable in my writing. Helen originally left teaching with the idea of taking a term off, but her husband David was overburdened with (boring) writing work so she helped him out - and has been writing ever since.
