About the author
Joanna Nadin
135 books126 followersJoanna Nadin is an English author of juvenile fiction best known for the Rachel Riley series of teenage novels Based on Nadin's own childhood, the series follows the comedic narration of a 13-year-old girl.
Nadin has also written several books of juvenile fiction. These include two books for the Oxford University Press "Project X" series designed to encourage boys to read.
Nadin previously worked as a policy writer for the Labour Party (UK).In 2001, she became a special adviser to Tony Blair.
As a child I buried myself in books both at home in Essex and at my grandparents’ houses in Cornwall, where I spent a large part of my time, and where many of my stories are now set. Books and later films were an escape not just from where I was but who I was, which, as I saw it, was pretty much a geek. They gave me the freedom to become someone else, from George in the Famous Five to Velvet Brown winning the Grand National to Baby dancing the Chachacha with Johnny Castle.

Kaikki ovat hyviä jossain. Pitää vaan löytää se oma juttu. Viihdyttävä oli.

Hauska kirja oman erityisyytensä löytämisestä.
Aiheena hyvinkin pinnalla juuri nyt.
Helppolukuisuus ei ole vähentänyt tekstin laadukkuutta.
Vinkkaukseen: kyllä.

Eipä paljon lapsille kerrottavaa. Sääli, koska äitipuoli-juttu oli niiiiiiin hyvä.

Joanna Nadin on ollut yksi niistä lastenkirjailijoista, joihin on tullut kiinnittäneeksi vähän enemmän huomiota kun meidän putiikkiimme saapuu uutuuskirjoja. Englantilaisen kirjailijanRachel Riley -sarja oli aidosti hauskaa teiniviihdettä, ja Hyvä paha äitipuoli osoittautui sekin erinomaiseksi helppolukuiseksi kirjaksi.
