Show Us Who You Are

PART OF THE Covet ISSUE

‘The minute you find out what makes you different, the minute you love it and accept it and say you wouldn’t change who you are, that’s when you become dangerous.’

Author Elle McNicoll was one of last year’s huge success stories with the publication of her debut A Kind of Spark, which recently won the Blue Peter Award for Best Story. This month she has released her second middle grade adventure, Show Us Who You Are, which sees her protagonist Cora take on tech conglomerate Pomegranate on their troubling plans with AI. Here, Elle tells us more about her book and gives us a taster.
