Jo Cotterill has published 22 books for children and young adults. Her novel Red Tears (under the name Joanna Kenrick) was shortlisted for the Lancashire Book Awards, and Model Behaviour (from the Sweet Hearts series for 9-13s) was shortlisted for the Young Adult Romantic Novel of the Year Award. Her latest novel is Looking at the Stars, a story of refugees and the power of imagination. Critics have called it ‘powerful and compelling…a book that will be talked about long after it has been put down.’ Jo lives in Oxfordshire and loves gardening, making cards and reading.
