The author and Round the Twist creator has opened up about his writing and his life.
In a new interview with Marc Fennell on The Feed, Jennings opens up about his writing and his life.
On writing for children, Jennings says it's important not to patronise them and to be able to remember what it actually feels like to be a kid.
He says his main characters are always versions of himself - "loners, and shy boys and girls." He also admits he stopped writing for years after an early rejection, and it wasn't until his forties that he had success.
