Sally Gardner is a British author and illustrator. She is a former winner of the Costa Children’s Book Award and the Carnegie Medal. She is best known as the author of I, Coriander, The Red Necklace, and Maggot Moon.

Gardner was raised in Birmingham as the daughter of two lawyers. She had a rough time in school as she was bullied due to her undiagnosed dyslexia. Because of this, she didn’t learn to read until the age of 14. After that she was off to the races though and found a love of books as well as art. She studied art and drama in college, and worked as a theatre designer prior to turning her focus to writing and illustration.
