About The Author

Lara Williamson was born and studied in Northern Ireland, before moving to London. She became an author after working for magazines including ELLE, New Woman and J17. Her books have been shortlisted for lots of prizes, including the Waterstones Children's Book Prize and the Blue Peter Book Award. She loves tap-dancing, daydreaming, eating chips, wearing glitter and writing. Not necessarily in that order.

A Boy Called Hope was a standout debut in 2014, and this shows the same emotional depth and poignancy, though told with a very accessible lightness of touch.
