The Worst Perfect Moment

Shivaun Plozza’s critically acclaimed debut novel, Frankie (Flatiron Books), was nominated to ALA’s Best Fiction for Young Adults List, was a CBCA Notable Book, and won a number of awards, including the Davitt Awards, a commendation from the Victorian Premier’s Literary Award, and a shortlisting for the Inky Awards. Her second novel, Tin Heart, was nominated to ALA’s Best Fiction for Young Adults List and received starred reviews from Kirkus and Publishers Weekly. Bestselling author Jennifer Niven called Tin Heart “from cover to cover swoon-worthy, moving, deep, and funny.” Shivaun’s MG debut, The Boy, the Wolf, and the Stars (HMH Books for Young Readers), was a JLG selection. When she’s not writing, Shivaun works as an editor. She lives in Victoria, Australia with her cat.
