Brooke Davis

Brooke
Davis

Brooke Davis grew up in Bellbrae, Victoria, and attempted to write her first novel when she was ten years old. It was a genre-busting foray into the inner-workings of a young teenage girl’s mind. Lost and Found is her first proper novel, and she was lucky to write it as part of a PhD at Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia. She still lives there (in Perth, not at university), and is sometimes allowed to work at a very nice bookshop nearby. Much to Brooke’s surprise, Lost and Found proved to be the buzz book of the 2014 London Book Fair and the translation rights have since been sold into twenty-five countries.
