Leanne Hall is the 2009 winner of the Text Prize for Young Adult and Children’s Writing.
She lives in Melbourne and works as a children’s specialist at an independent bookstore.
Leanne can’t think of anything better than a life spent reading and writing young adult fiction, and has far too many future books living in her head to ever consider a full-time job. This is Shyness is her first novel.
