The sequel, The Awkward Autumn of Lily McLean, was published by Floris Books in 2017. Guardians of the Wild Unicorns came out in February 2019 and was nominated for the 2020 CILIP Carnegie Medal. Her latest novel with Floris, Secrets of the Last Merfolk, comes out in summer 2021.In 2015 her WW1 novel Shell Hole was shortlisted for the Dundee Great War Children’s Book Prize and she enjoyed engaging in research so much that she was inspired to write another two historical books, A Pattern of Secrets, set in Victorian Paisley, and The Titanic Detective Agency. Her latest novel, The Rewilders, will be published by Cranachan Books in March 2022. Website lindsaylittleson.co.ukTwitter @ljlittlesonInstagram: @lindsaylittleson
