She is a trained children's literacy specialist and a primary school teacher who is happiest when she is covered in paint or stuck in a book. In 2017, Frances was the winner of the Bloomsbury and National Literacy Trust short story prize. She lives with her family and a big-eared dog called Babbage in the UK. When she is not writing, you'll probably find her in a forest playing dragons with her daughters.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Paw Prints Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51603085820178,"sku":"9781223189123","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_98dcea29-d50d-405e-a27e-ae5f3736149c.jpg?v=1757423016","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/goblin-9781223189123","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
