ABOUT EWA
I’ve loved reading for as long as I can remember. When I was little, I felt very lucky that my dad was a bookseller. I remember spending many school holidays tucked up in the corner of a bookshop, slowly reading my way through the children’s section. I was allowed to read as many books as I wanted, as long as I was quiet and didn’t bend the spines.
I found that my taste in books was very varied. I devoured Roald Dahl’s hilarious stories (Esio Trot still has a special spot on my bookshelf), but I also loved the thrill of Goosebumps and the Point Horror series, even though I sometimes had to shut the book and take a few deep breaths to stop myself getting too scared. Jacqueline Wilson is still my all time favourite author, because of the realness of her stories – they could happen to any of us.
My question burst out of me before I could stop it: ‘Have you ever had a friend who persuaded you to do stuff even when you didn’t want to?’
