Nat Harrison was born on the tiny volcanic island of Ascension, in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean. She spent her childhood having adventures in England and Hong Kong and has since journeyed to every continent except Antarctica (it's next on the list). She's based in Richmond but can usually be found exploring with her husband, and her best dog Shadow, who loves a good story.In the past, Nat has worked as a sweet seller, burger flipper, bingo caller, and ice cream whipper. She's also worked for some of the most well-known technology brands, living in Europe, Asia and the US. Most recently Nat graduated with distinction from the MA in Writing for Young People at Bath Spa University. The one constant across continents is Nat's love of reading and writing (and living!) adventure stories. The Girl Who Raced the World is her debut novel.

I adored this book. A beautifully written, heart-stopping adventure that had me glued to the page. Wonderful characters, lush landscapes, sublime storytelling.
