My name is Maisie Chan and I am a British Chinese author who lives in Glasgow. I'm a Bookseller 'One to watch' children's author and my novel Danny Chung Does Not Do Maths was one of the Guardian's Books of the Month for June 2021 and Scottish Book Trust's Book of the Month July 2021. It was shortlisted for the amazing Blue Peter Book Awards 2022 and is now on the Jhalak Prize shortlist too! What a year!

I'm super excited to reveal that my second novel for children is called 

Keep Dancing, Lizzie Chu which is out 9th June 2022 with Piccadilly Press in the U.K. It's about Lizzie Chu whose wai gong (grandfather) is acting strange. It has cosplay (dressing up as your favourite comic character), a road trip, Chinese deities and sausage sandwiches and of course, dancing. I really hope you like it! 

Pre-orders really help new authors like myself, click HERE if you would like to buy it.
