Her favourite things include ghosts, crisps, and weird old words like bumbershoot and zounderkite.Among its many accolades, The Swifts was the winner of the Nero Book Award for Childrens Fiction and the Barnes & Noble Childrens & YA Book Award.Beth lives in Newcastle upon Tyne with her partner and hopefully, by the time you are reading this, a dog.Claire Powell (Illustrator)Claire Powell is a bestselling childrens book illustrator who got her first book deal in 2016 and has never looked back.
