DescriptionIt all started with a trip to Protestant Belfast by Kevin and his Catholic friends to daub slogans on a wall. But the paint-splashing turned into something very dangerous. The only good to come out of the reckless trip was that it brought Kevin into contact with Sadie Jackson and changes his life. Author descriptionJoan Lingard was born in Edinburgh and grew up in Belfast where she lived until she was eighteen. She began to write when she was eleven years old and always wanted to be a writer. She is particularly well-known for the Kevin and Sadie titles, beginning with THE TWELFTH DAY OF JULY, which are set against the troubled background of Ireland. Joan was given an MBE for distinguished service to children's literature. She lives in Edinburgh. |
