Don’t miss this spellbinding, inspiring event!
About Elle
Elle McNicoll’s debut novel, A Kind of Spark, won the Blue Peter Book Award and the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize. The TV adaptation will be released by BBC Children’s in Spring 2023.
She is an advocate for better representation of neurodiversity in publishing and in 2022 founded The Adrien Prize, to recognise children’s fiction that explores the disability experience. She currently lives in London.
“McNicoll’s imagination fizzes over and her dyspraxic lead character is groundbreaking in fiction for this age group.”
