I am over the moon that Elinormal is featured on the Children’s Book Council’s Hot off the Press list!
This book began years ago as a few scribbled lines across a newspaper page as I sat in the lobby of a ballet studio, watching and waiting. A seed of a story that nestled in my writer’s brain, and continued to grow.
And now here it is, fully formed, making its debut next month.
The sequel, New Girl: The Further Adventures of Elinormal will follow in April.
