YA Authors

Sandy’s reads:
  • The Spook’s Apprentice series by Joseph Delaney.  It’s set in a fictional Lancashire with excellent local knowledge of British fey and witchlore!
  • The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking, #1) by Patrick Ness : I’ve already reviewed it, but it’s YA that pulls no emotional punches.  Very intense and suspenseful. Not what you’d think you’d find in YA, which makes it very intriguing!

    1. Hanna: If your experiment with designing lace shawls is successful, we'd love to publish a design! You do excellent lace work.
