Rob Lloyd Jones never wanted to be a writer when he grew up - he wanted to be Indiana Jones. So he studied Egyptology and archaeology and went on trips to faraway places. But all he found were interesting stories, so he decided to write them down. Jake Atlas and the Hunt for the Feathered God is Rob's fourth novel, though he has written more than thirty other books for children, including non-fiction and adaptations of such classics as Jekyll and Hyde. He lives in East Sussex with his wife and two young sons.

"Jake Atlas is madcap, reckless and daring. His adventures will keep you on the edge of your seat." * George, 9, LoveReading * "An action-packed, mind-grabbing book that lured me in. Some people, e.g. the snake lady, are malicious and malevolent whereas others are considerate. Don't mess with the Atlas family!" * Katie, 11, LoveReading * "Great fun, this adventure will leave you wondering where the next adventure from Jake and his treasure hunting family will take you." * Reading Zone * Rob Lloyd Jones was featured in Surrey Life giving tips on writing and finishing your first book. * Surrey Life *
