When a new family moves in next door, Joe's mum explains that they are asylum seekers.
Ben has been teaching for 15 years and has worked all over the world, from Poland to Borneo, China to London. He is now living and working in Singapore and feels like staying put for a while. He is married to Heloise, a designer, and they have four children...Lyra, Rocco, Otis and Milo. He loves football, snakes and going on adventures. The Silence Seeker is his first book for children... but, hopefully,not his last.
