Books by Penny Bates

Penny Bates has worked as a secondary school teacher for fourteen years after gaining an English degree from Nottingham University with first class honours, as well as obtaining a PGCE from University College Worchester. Penny is now the library manager at The Chase Academy after achieving an M.A in Information and Library Studies from the University of Central England. In her spare time she enjoys attending antique fairs, flea markets and auctions. She is an avid gardener and collects children's books. Anne Rooney writes for children, teens and adults. As she says, she writes short books for short people, longer books for longer people. A lot of the books she writes are things that are true. Others are totally made up. Even the made up ones aren't entirely lies.
