Yes, it is indeed not her actual name. Her real name is Jennifer June Rowe. "Emily Rodda" is a pseudonym, meaning a name you put on something to either be anonymous, or you can think of it as a stage name. Originally, she used it on her children's books, because she was shy and she thought no one would like them. She had already published other books, but for adults, under her real name. With time, "Emily Rodda" became so much more famous than her real name, so she never stopped using it on the children's books.
