Order of Alexander Gordon Smith Books

Alexander Gordon Smith is a British writer who specializes in young adult and children's fiction, most notably as the creator of the acclaimed Escape From Furnace series. Drawing from his own turbulent teenage years, when he ran with a rough crowd and even lost a tooth in a violent altercation, Smith channels these experiences into his gripping narratives. The Furnace series was born from his contemplation of how differently his life might have unfolded had he continued down that darker path with those dangerous companions.

After studying English literature at the University of East Anglia, Smith began his publishing career with non-fiction, releasing The Universe: Our Solar System and Beyond in 2001. He transitioned to novel writing with The Inventors in 2007, marking the beginning of his fiction career. Currently residing in England, Smith continues to craft compelling stories that resonate with young readers through their authentic exploration of adolescent struggles and redemption.
