Aaron Blabey
Aaron Blabey’s books have a special knack for turning the tables on what children’s literature is expected to be. With stories that are as clever as they are hilarious, he’s built a reputation for making even the most mischievous characters lovable. Born in Bendigo, Australia, in 1974, Aaron initially took a detour from writing to pursue a career in acting. His talents earned him accolades, including an Australian Film Institute Award in 1994 for his role in The Damnation of Harvey McHugh. But the world of storytelling beckoned him back, and he shifted his focus to writing, where he quickly found success in creating characters that would win the hearts of readers across the globe.
The Bad Guys
In a world where heroes are expected to be flawless and brave, The Bad Guys flips the script and takes readers on a wild ride with the most unlikely group of saviors. This hilarious and action-packed series follows a band of "bad guys"—a wolf, a shark, a piranha, and a snake—who are on a mission to prove that being good isn’t just for the goody-two-shoes. What makes this series so refreshing isn’t just the constant shenanigans or over-the-top humor, but the transformation of characters that the world has already written off.
The Bad Guys consists of twenty books — considered a complete series. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
