Kieran Larwood: British author of Podkin One-Ear / The Five Realms and Dungeon Runners — Watership-Down-meets-Redwall middle-grade fantasy for ages 9–12.

Kieran Larwood is a British author best known for the Podkin One-Ear / The Five Realms middle-grade fantasy series, Watership-Down-meets-Brian-Jacques rabbit-epic adventures set in a richly imagined warren world, and for the Dungeon Runners illustrated chapter-book series. Larwood's voice is warm, well-paced, with strong worldbuilding for the middle-grade fantasy reader who has grown out of Beatrix Potter but isn't yet ready for the heaviness of His Dark Materials. He has also written the Carnegie-shortlisted Freaks and a range of stand-alone middle-grade fiction. A reliable middle-grade fantasy author for ages 9–12.
