Author Bio:
Sara Barnard lives in Brighton and does all her best writing on trains. She loves books, book people and book things. She has been writing ever since she was too small to reach the 'on' switch on the family's Amstrad computer. She gets her love of words from her dad, who made sure she always had books to read and introduced her to the wonders of second-hand bookshops at a young age. Sara is trying to visit every country in Europe, and has managed to reach thirteen with her best friend. She has also lived in Canada and worked in India.
Her debut novel, Beautiful Broken Things, was shortlisted for the YA Book Prize and selected as part of Zoella's Book Club. Her other YA novels include: A Quiet Kind of Thunder; Goodbye, Perfect; and Fierce Fragile Hearts, the sequel to Beautiful Broken Things. Destination Anywhere is her fifth book.
Advance Praise
“Barnard has crafted a page-turner that’s both adventurous and reflective, and Peyton is a thoughtful, nuanced heroine who eventually understands her past roles as both victim and enabler…A lovely coming-of-age tale set amid breathtaking scenery.”
