Aubrey Hartman lives in California with her husband and three young children. Like Poppy, she believes in magic: the kind that's made up of powerful words, cinematic scenes, and characters who curl up in your heart to stay. Also like Poppy, she's passionate about inspiring young people to recognize the impact their voices can have in the world. The Lion of Lark-Hayes Manor is her debut novel.
"Tonally reminiscent of classic children's fantasies, Hartman's
debut layers slice-of-life concerns--bickering parents, new-kid
trials--with a high-concept premise, making for a winning novel
focused on literary influence and everyday magic."--Publishers
Weekly
"This gentle fantasy beautifully explores the ways books shape and
stir readers, and Poppy's joyful, funny friendship with the lion is
a treat. An enchanting adventure that encourages readers to find
their voice and delight in stories."--Booklist
"The Lion of Lark-Hays Manor is a page-turning novel about an
unlikely friendship, the price of granted wishes, and finding one's
voice. A magical adventure that reminds us of the power of
stories."--Lynne Kelly, author of Song For a Whale
"A book for all of us about learning to speak--and also to listen
to every voice, even the soundless."--Kathryn Erskine, National
Book Award winner
