In this debut collection for children, Sarah takes the reader on a vibrant journey based on her acute observations of everyday life and language.

Loosely arranged across a school year, from September through Halloween, Christmas, Spring, Summer holidays and then the start of a new school year just before secondary school, Sarah's witty observations, juxtapositions and playful use of language pervade every poem and bring a vivid charm and freshness to each page.

This ‘Troika First’ collection heralds the emergence of a strikingly new and inventive voice in children's poetry.
