Tia Fisher
Tia’s parents told so many stories about the Second World War, she feels like she lived through it herself. She hates fireworks, eats anything and is a frugal make-do-and-mender who can’t throw anything away. She lives in South London in a house which is gradually silting up with objects that might come in handy one day (including her husband) and two shouty cats. When not writing or visiting schools with her teen verse novel Crossing the Line (Hot Key Books, 2023), Tia works in a busy children’s library where matching a child with the right book makes her day. She’s really chuffed to have got a distinction in her MA.
The Last Last Post
Upper MG Historical adventure
Croydon, 1944. Twelve-year-old Stan can’t accept that his father is ‘missing, presumed killed’ after D- Day. Nor can he face his terror of being buried alive as Hitler sends over wave after wave of revenge rockets. If only he could be as brave as his pugnacious friends Billy and Nellie!
When they’re evacuated to the coast and a mysterious piece of shrapnel seems to point to his father’s survival in a POW camp, Stan must find the courage to discover what really happened to Dad, and in doing so, learn what bravery really means.
