Evelyn Bookless

Evelyn grew up in the wild and windy west of Ireland. She spent her time playing in the trees with her siblings, making up games, and getting up to plenty of mischief.

Evelyn has always loved to read. Her favorite part of the week was when the school bus stopped at the library on the way home. Everyone flocked in, as if they had never seen a book before in their lives, and dove for their favorites before it was too late!

Evelyn now lives in Spain and her favorite place to be is in the sea, dreaming up silly stuff.
