DANCING THROUGH THE SHADOWS

About the author

Though I was born in the South of England - my parents moved back to the North when I was one year old, and I have lived in Yorkshire ever since. I spent a few years as an infant teacher, but when my children were young I started making picture books for them and became hooked on writing. I love drawing and painting, but my main love is writing, often using the legends and history around me as inspiration.

No hubiera elegido este título en otras circunstancias, pero me he propuesto leer más en inglés y vi que podía ser interesante. Trata de una adolescente rebelde a la que la vida le da una bofetada: su madre tiene cáncer. Una lectura entretenida.
