WARRINGTON-based author Sally Green has won the “Best book for Teens” award for her breakout novel “Half Bad”
Her win follows a whirlwind of global support for the supernatural thriller for young adults, which is the Guinness World Record holder for most translated book and most translated children’s book pre-publication and has now sold into 52 languages worldwide.
A major Hollywood film deal with Twilight producer Karen Rosenfelt was struck at the Bologna Children’s book fair in March 2013 and Half Bad went on to become one of the biggest selling young adult debuts of last year.
Half Bad isset in an imaginative new world that presents witches as an exciting new trend in the hugely popular young adult fiction genre.
Set in a parallel universe occupied by covert witches, where light and dark, good and evil are in continuous flux, it is also a journey into adulthood, whereby hero Nathan Byrne must find himself, and his place in the world.  A journey of discovery that will lay bare the best and the worst of humankind.
Half Wild, which has just been published, is the second book in the trilogy, promises another atmospheric and thrilling read, as Nathan is on the run and must learn to control his three gifts.
Sally Green lives in Grappenhall with her husband and son. She has had various jobs and even a profession but in 2010 she discovered a love of writing and now just can’t stop.
She used to keep chickens, makes decent jam, doesn’t mind ironing, loves to walk in Wales even when it’s raining, and will probably never jog again.
Half Bad was her first novel.
