Helena Pielichaty

Helena Pielichaty (pronounced Pierre-li-hatty) is the author of children's books.

Pielichaty was born in Stockholm, Sweden, on 11 September 1955,[1] and moved to England aged five. She had a poem, Litter, published in the Yorkshire Post when she was 11.[2] Most of her childhood was spent in Yorkshire and, as a result, she became a supporter of Huddersfield Town F.C.[3]

She was educated at Breton Hall College, and worked as a teacher between 1978 and 2000.[1]

Her first published novel was Vicious Circle, and she has had many books published by Oxford University Press. Her fiction for teenagers deals with topics such as poverty, bullying and depression.[2] She says "I use a lot of humour to carry through some tough subjects, such as mental illness, poverty, and feeling different."[1] Her book series include The After School Club and Girls FC (about women's football).[4]

Pielichaty lives in Nottinghamshire with her husband and two children.[1]
