Anthony McGowan was born in Manchester in 1965. Educated at a Leeds comprehensive, he won't say that his characters' schooldays are exactly based on his own but he certainly writes from experience. Before turning to writing full-time, Anthony gained a PhD in Philosophy, worked as a nightclub bouncer, an Open University tutor, a journalist and a civil servant. He won the 2006 Booktrust Teenage Prize and Catalyst Award for his teenage novel Henry Tumour.
He is married to Rebecca Campbell, a fashion designer and novelist. They have two young children and live in north London.
It's dirty, inventive and made me laugh aloud . . . Any kid into Andy Griffiths or the <i>Astrosaurs</i> series will be in ecstasy
- Amanda Craig, The Times
<p>I loved <i>Einstein's Underpants</i>. It strikes the perfect balance between wacky wahey pants-based fun, and a top quality, energetic sci-fi romp . . . The writing style is dramatic, punchy, and is perfectly pitched at its audience. Anthony McGowan is always excellent, and this is no exception. Highly <br />recommended.</p>
- Keith Dudhnath, The Bookbag
Entirely genius
- Toby Clements, Daily Telegraph
If your nine year old has not yet discovered the world of Anthony McGowan, then now might be the time
- Rachel Carlyle, Sunday Express
<i>Einstein's Underpants</i> is zany, irreverent and downright absurd - children will love it
