Crystal Corocher is an author and editor of stories for children and young adults. She is also a library and literacy coordinator. Basically, she is thrilled to work in any way that sees more kids reading more books!

While she calls Melbourne home for now, Crystal grew up on a farm in Northern NSW. The formidable ‘Lightning’ Lizzy is a small homage to the many innovative, resilient, and down-right legendary women she has known in the agricultural industry - none more so than her own mum.
