Sara Barnard
Hello! My name is Sara and I live, love and breathe YA. I am also quite fond of music, Kinder Schoko-bons and my black and white cat. I once went husky-mushing in Finland with my best friend, which was terrifying for about 90% of the time and magical for the rest of it. Despite my best efforts, I'm at my most productive when I'm on trains (i.e., away from the internet). I studied creative writing at UEA in Norfolk, but I owe my love of reading and writing to the books that built my childhood.
