Oliver Hilditch – författare

Oliver was born in Chichester West Sussex and lives in nearby Bognor Regis with his parents and younger brother.

He attended school firstly in Rose Green which is on the outskirts of Bognor Regis and then he moved on to Chichester Free School in Year 4.

He had a love of reading from an early age and read many books with his Grandmother.  He particularly thrived on Harry Potter.

However, he found writing very difficult.  He comes from a family with many dyslexics and from a very early age, his family thought he was one too.  He was finally diagnosed in 2020.

Once dyslexia was confirmed Oliver gained the confidence to start writing. This book is the result of that revelation and his newfound self-belief.
