She's won the IBW Book Award 2018, the Whitbread Children's Book Award three times, the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize, the Smarties Bronze Award four times, the prestigious U.S. Printz Award and the Blue Peter Book of the Year Award.

Her cottage is under year-round siege from wild birds demanding to be fed. The ducks even knock on the door.
