About the Author

Tanya Landman is renowned for her thought-provoking, prize-winning novels including the beautifully "deft and dark", Carnegie Medal-winning Buffalo Soldier. In 2019 she won the Scottish Teenage Book Prize for her critically acclaimed novella One Shot. Tanya says that she loves how writing allows her to daydream - something she was always in trouble for at school! She lives in Devon with her sons, a Siamese cat and two Labradors.
