About the author
Sinéad O'Hart is a children's author, a children's literature podcaster (she co-hosts
Storyshaped, available on all podcasting platforms) and a parent, all of which keeps her busy (but not too busy to read). She's the author of
The Eye of the North,
The Star-Spun Web, Skyborn, The Time Tider and
The Silver Road, and sometimes she can't quite believe she's lucky enough to do what she loves most (putting fictional people into frankly dangerous situations) as a job!
