About the Author
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, and was followed by a sequel, QUEEN OF THE NIGHT.
