Narinda Dhami
Narinder is probably best known for turning the hit movie
Bend It Like Beckham into a book.
She was born in Wolverhampton and, after getting an English degree from Birmingham University, she went on to be a teacher. She worked in a primary school for ten years, but has been a full-time writer for most of the last decade.
Narinder has written almost two hundred short stories and articles published in children's and teenage magazines such as
Jackie, Catch and
Playdays.
For the last couple of years, she's focused on writing children's novels like
Bindi Babes. It tells the story of three feisty, fun-loving Anglo-Asian sisters who rule the roost over their Dad after their Mum dies. But an interfering Auntie-ji from India invites herself over to England and starts to cramp their style.
Narinder has written two more books in the series that feature Geena, Amber and Jazz called
Bollywood Babes and
Bhangra Babes.
Her other books include:
- Angel Face
- Annie's Game
- The Barber’s Clever Wife
