Across all her writing, Isobelle shows a talent for balancing the mundane and the fantastic. Originally published in Australia as The Wrong Thing, the book features an ordinary housecat who stumbles upon something otherworldly. Isobelle's most recent picture book, Magic Night, is a collaboration with illustrator Declan Lee. The Little Fur quartet is an eco-fantasy starring a half-elf, half-troll heroine and is fully illustrated by the author herself. Her still-unfinished Gateway Trilogy has been favorably compared to The Wizard of Oz and the Chronicles of Narnia. In addition to her young-adult novels, such as the Obernewtyn Chronicles and Alyzon Whitestarr, Isobelle's published works include several middle-grade fantasies.

The series has established her at the forefront of fantasy writing in Australia.


Isobelle Carmody began the first novel of her highly acclaimed Obernewtyn Chronicles while she was still in high school.
