I wrote my first full book when I was eleven. My mum had been to parents’ night, and after six months of being in his class, my year six teacher didn’t know who I was.

When I was assaulted as a teenager, I turned to writing about a girl communicating through art and sign language, focusing on something different was the best medicine for me.
