A middle-grade The Day of the Triffids, and an absolutely captivating fable about fear and hope, loneliness and friendship.
Polly 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 now a book called Boy
in the Tower.
She's still writing stories and though she doesn't teach now, she
still visit schools ... only now they're all over the country.
She lives in Bristol with her husband Dan who designs the covers of
her books.
This matches a dystopian plot with a hugely engaging narrator . . .
An unusual and very impressive debut.

Haunting and compelling, with characters you really care for

I loved it and I think you - whoever you are, whether you're aged
eight or eighty - will love it, too. Boy In The Tower comes highly
recommended by me. I think it might even be my favourite story of
2014 so far.
