Biography
[edit]Blondel has taught at Lycée Edouard Herriot, a high school located in Sainte-Savine near his hometown of Troyes, since the 1990s.[2] Blondel is not only a French author of young-adult and realistic fiction novels but also an English teacher. His most popular work, The 6:41 to Paris, has reached worldwide popularity and has been translated into ten languages.[3][4] This widespread interest in his novels has led to opportunities for Blondel to travel abroad.[4]
