Duder was one of the authors who shaped my feminism as a girl, particularly through the Alex series and Night Race to Kawau (which I loved so much I even invented a pretty mediocre board game about). Long may she write!

Alex was SUCH a fantastic role model to have growing up. I met Tessa Duder a couple of years ago because she was a workmate's mum, and I was just such a blabbering idiot in her presence, trying to thank her for her books. She took it very graciously, of course.
