Andrew McDonald is an Australian children’s author best known for the Real Pigeons series, which has grown to thirteen books since its debut in 2018. The series follows a squad of pigeons who secretly fight crime, with each book bringing a new adventure filled with humor and action aimed at young readers.
The Real Pigeons books have been popular with early chapter book readers, with titles like Real Pigeons Fight Crime, Real Pigeons Eat Danger, and Real Pigeons Spy High giving a clear sense of the fun, punny style. The series maintains a steady release schedule, with new entries appearing every year.
Before the Real Pigeons took off, McDonald contributed to the anthology They Have to Take You in (2014). But it is the pigeon series that has defined his career, finding a wide audience of kids who enjoy funny animal stories with mystery and adventure.
