Danielle Binks is a Melbourne-based writer, reviewer, agent, book blogger and youth literature advocate. In 2017, she edited and contributed to an anthology of Australian young adult stories inspired by the LoveOZYA movement for which she is a passionate advocate. And now, she has written a YA novel entitled 'The Year The Maps Changed' (Hachette). A compelling and beautifully written middle-grade coming of age story from which we can all learn about kindness and empathy through an examination of our recent past.
