biography
Insa Bauer was born in Oldenburg in 1948. She first worked as a translator in the tourism and export industry before completing advanced training in educational and social sciences with a focus on special education at a distance learning university.
After the birth of her two sons, she started writing children's books and has been a freelance writer since 1986. In the same year she made her debut with a non-fiction book for children, the Ravensburger paperback Die Grille auf der Brille: Quiz questions from nature. She was inspired to write her first stories not least by her inquisitive children - this is how the series Club of Riddle Detectives came about . In addition to these thrillers for guessing, Bauer also writes on historical or scientific topics.
To date, Insa Bauer has written 54 books that have been translated into twelve languages (as of 2012). This includes translations into Chinese, Hebrew, Dutch and Czech languages. Her books are primarily aimed at children in grades 1 to 5.
Insa Bauer lives with her husband Hartmut Küchlin in Rastede .
