Sally Ashworth

Sally is a journalist-turned-teacher from the small town of Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, where she lives in a 400-year-old house with her large blended family and Frida, the best cat in the world. She enjoys reading (obviously), playing the piano, watching Doris Day movies, building Lego plants (she can’t keep real ones alive) and walking in the beautiful Pennine countryside on her doorstep. A few years ago, she discovered she’s autistic and is passionate about positive representation in children’s books – and everywhere else, for that matter!

What a Popular Girl Would Do

GEEK GIRL meets GLOW UP, LARA BLOOM. Awkward fourteen-year-old Lola wonders if she was off sick the day they handed out the manuals on how to be a teenager. But when she finds a blog post called How to be Popular in 10 Simple Steps by teen influencer Jessa Baines, she sets out to reinvent herself at her new school – with unexpected and life-changing results. Funny contemporary teen.
