Bree McCready and the Half-Heart Locket is the debut novel from Hazel Allan.

Hazel previously worked with underprivileged children as part of the Government’s Early Intervention Programme, which was established to tackle the problem of low literacy levels. She has also worked with children on the verge of exclusion from secondary school, and has a keen interest in literacy issues.

Hazel is a confident and natural storyteller and uses storytelling as a way to engage children and to stimulate interest in reading and books.

Hazel will be taking part in a publicity tour when Bree McCready and the Half-Heart Locket is published by Strident in 2009.

Hazel Allan lives in Edinburgh with her young son.
