Sally Nicholls
Hi There!
Hello and welcome to my website. My name is Sally Nicholls and I'm the author of three books - 'Ways to Live Forever', 'Season of Secrets' and 'All Fall Down', which are published by Marion Lloyd Books at Scholastic.
'Ways to Live Forever' is about a boy with leukaemia. It won the Waterstone's Children's Book Prize and the Glen Dimplex New Writer of the Year Award. 'Season of Secrets' is based on the pagan myth of the green man. It has some fantasy in it, but is also a story about the problems facing a very real family.
'All Fall Down' is about a young girl trying to look after her brothers and sister in the face of the biggest catastrophe in historical memory - the Black Death of 1349.
I'm also the author of a very short book, 'A Lily, A Rose', which is about a medieval girl who is forced to marry a man in his forties, and is published by Barrington Stoke.
