Clare Weze writes for both adults and children, and is the award-winning author of The Lightning Catcher, The Storm Swimmer, Rollo’s Choice, The Violet Sea Snail and a co-author in Happy Here.
Up Above the City comes out in October 2025!
Books had a huge effect on her as a child, and her aim is to recreate that sense of discovery in her readers. Writing for children means that she can take her ideas to their ultimate, wildest conclusions. Her scientific background expands her imagination further still, and keeps her creations believable.
Clare grew up in London and Yorkshire and has British and Nigerian* heritage.
