Polly Ho-Yen used to be a primary school teacher in London and, while she was teaching there, she used to get up very early in the morning to write stories. The first of those stories is BOY IN THE TOWER. Her books have been shortlisted for, among others awards, the Waterstones Childrenโs Book Prize and the Blue Peter Book Award. Sheโs still writing stories and though she doesnโt teach now, she still visits schoolsโฆ only now theyโre all over the country. She lives in Bristol with her husband and daughter.
