Still, Jaclyn continued her journey of writing. The story ended with the toys getting into a fight, and her aunt said the story was good but perhaps did not think so. She does admit that it was inspired by Enid Blyton and the story was about toys that could talk. It was perhaps no surprise that Jaclyn ended up finishing her first book at just seven years old. If the kids filled up an exercise book to the end with words, they would get a dollar fifty each.

The author was raised in Sydney, Australia. She is known for writing novels for young adults. Jaclyn Moriarty is an Australian published author of fiction.
