Meet local writer Annabel Pitcher who delighted young readers with her moving and beautifully-written teenage novel, My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece, famously endorsed by actor David Tennant. Her more recent book, the heartbreaking and hilarious Ketchup Clouds, finds 15-year-old Zoe harboring a terrible secret – one that is only revealed when she starts writing to a Death Row inmate in Texas.
Wendy Constance is the winner of the Times/ Chicken House Children’s Fiction Competition 2013 with her award-winning teenage novel Brave, which follows Wild Horse and Blue Bird as they set out on the most dangerous adventure of their lives. Now’s your chance to ask Annabel and Wendy everything you want to know about their books, and what inspires their stories, as they chat to writer James Nash about their work.
