James Heneghan started writing children's storied with a friend and teaching colleague and is today one of the most acknowledged authors of historical fiction for children and young adults in Canada and the USA. His popular, award-winning books, known for their realism, adventure, action and suspense, often tell stories of teenagers struggling to overcome personal difficulties. He has won the Shelia A.
