Clare Harlow was often in trouble for daydreaming at school, but things worked out in the end and now she gets to daydream professionally. Her first book, Tidemagic: The Many Faces of Ista Flit, won the Week Junior Breakthrough Book Award, was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize and was Blackwell’s Children’s Book of the Month. She lives in south-east London with her husband and two extremely pampered cats.
