Genres
Brooke Davis grew up in Bellbrae, Victoria, and attempted to write her first novel when she was ten years old. It was genre-busting foray into the inner-workings of a young teenage girl’s mind-Anne of Green Gables meets The Baby-Sitters Club meets Are you there God? It’s Me, Margaret titled Summer Sadness. Fortunately it remains unfinished, as she quickly realised she didn’t know the first thing about sadness, or being a teenager. Lost & Found is her first proper novel, and she was lucky to write it as part of a PhD at Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia. She still lives there (in Perth, not at university), and is sometimes allowed to work at a very nice bookshop nearby. Much to Brooke’s surprise, Lost & Found proved to be the buzz book of the 2014 London Book Fair. The translation rights have since been sold into twenty-five countries now and there has been major deals in the United States and Great Britain.
