Laura won the South Wales Short Story Competition 2012 with her entry, 'The Countess and the Mole Man'. Passionate about literature, Laura took inspiration for The Liars' and Fibbers' Academy from her own childhood. Embracing her younger self, and the level of creativity that comes with the younger imagination, she teaches that sometimes, it's OK to have fun.

Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

Think of a lie – double it – add a pinch of fibbing and a teaspoon of invention. Stir in a handful of clueless adults and a seemingly bonkers classmate, then sit back and wait for the pizza to rise. Danny Quinn isn’t exactly lying when he announces that his sister has been reincarnated as a dog. No-one believes him though, so he is sent to The Liars' and Fibbers' Academy where he just learns to tell whoppers more convincingly. Aided by a girl who insists she’s a mermaid named Derek, and Inigus Jowly, the school’s mysterious caretaker, Danny is able to hoodwink his family until he finally learns the truth. But this turns out to be more outrageous than any fib he could come up with. The Liars' and Fibbers' Academy is a funny and quirky children's book. It will appeal to fans of David Walliams and Roald Dahl. For readers aged 9+ or perfect to be read aloud to younger children.
