The Jackal's Graveyard

Saviour Pirotta was born on the island of Malta, and decided at a very young age to become an author. He studied drama and scriptwriting before emigrating to England, where he settled first in London and then in Yorkshire. His fiction and picture books have been translated into twenty-three languages and been bestsellers in America, Greece, Italy, and Brazil. In the UK he has won awards for his middle grade fiction. Despite a heavy writing schedule, Saviour enjoys visiting schools, libraries and literary festivals, and in 2018 and 2019, he visited schools in the Middle East, where he discovered hundreds of young fans.
