Barry J. Hutchison

Having written more than seventy books for teens and kids, he moved to writing for adults, with his first for adults being “Space Team”, which is the first of a comedy science fiction adventure space opera series. Barry later expanded the series to include the “Dan Deadman Space Detective” series. For as long as Barry is able to remember, he’s wanted to be a writer.

The best place to start is the Peggy Orenstein Non-Fiction series, the earliest of Barry J. Hutchison's multi-book series: it opens with Schoolgirls (1994) and runs to 9 books across 1994–2023, ending with Unraveling (2023). Barry J. Hutchison's other series stand alone, so they can be read in any order.
