Jess Butterworth whose debut Running on the Roof of the World is released in June. Jess spent her childhood between the UK and India, and grew up hearing stories about the Himalayas from her grandmother. She's lived in India and even met with the Dalai Lama.

Sarah Driver's debut book Sea (part of the Huntress trilogy) was a Waterstones children's Book of the Month upon its release. Sarah grew up by the sea in Sussex and has been making up stories for as long as she can remember.

Kiran Millwood Hargraves debut The Girl of Ink and Stars won the Waterstones Children's Book Prize in both it's catagories and was crowned the overall winner. Kiran was born in Surrey and her earliest ambition was to be a cat, closely followed by a cat-owner or the first woman on Mars.
