An Usborne Young Adult Book
My mother used to tell me that matter was neither created nor destroyed, only transferred. She was filled with old theories, which she would make me recite back to her as if she were trying to teach me something about the world but couldn’t find the right words. I never gave them much thought until she and my father were killed, but by then it was too late to ask what it all meant. It wasn’t until I was enrolled at Gottfried Academy that I began to make sense of who I was, and what I was fated to become.
Yvonne Woon
Yvonne Woon grew up in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA, in an old stone colonial house surrounded by woods. It was here that she first developed a taste for the macabre, and she has been writing mysteries ever since.
Yvonne attended the prestigious Worcester Academy prep school in Boston, where, like Renée, the length of her skirt was routinely measured. She first began thinking about Latin and the Undead while studying in the library of Colunbia University, New York, where she obtained a Masters of Fine Arts in fiction. Dead Beautiful is her debut novel.
