Kirkus Review
This irreverent gallop through science history uncovers ten mind-bending accidents, experiments and discoveries that take us inside the brain, and explores how they led to our current understanding of how the brain works. From ancient Egyptians through to AI this is an entertaining and engaging deep dive into the most mind-boggling area of science.

NEWS
LUCY ANN UNWIN
Lucy's debut novel for children The Octopus, Dadu and Me was shortlisted for multiple awards, including The Brilliant Book Awards. Her background is in journalism. She was a music journalist at BBC 6 Music for 10 years, where she was privileged enough to interview the likes of Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Adele and absorb hundreds of hours of wonderful live music.
Brought up in Birmingham, Lucy has lived all around the UK, from Newcastle to Brixton, Worcester to Chesterfield. She also lived for a year in the Chilean city of Valparaiso, and for three years in San Francisco.
She has now settled on the Sussex clifftops with her husband and two daughters (and tortoise), where she divides her time between writing, editing and reading as much children’s fiction as she can.
