KATHRIN TORDASI was born in the south of Germany and has been a bookworm since she was little, when she started making up her own stories after her dad gave her his old typewriter. Blackberry Fox was first published in Germany in 2020 under the title Brombeerfuchs. It won the Goldener Bücherpirat Prize 2021 and the Fürther Lupe Prize 2021, both voted for by children, and then it was first translated and published into English in 2022 under the title Bramble Fox. Kathrin lives in Berlin, where she can usually be found browsing through local bookshops, writing in cafés, or exploring nearby lakes and forests. Find out more at KathrinTordasi.de.
