Maisie Chan - Keep Dancing, Lizzie Chu

12-year-old protagonist living with her Grandad. They both love watching Strictly Come Dancing. When things get sticky, how will Maisie make sure her Grandad is okay?

Heartwarming plot with excellent characters, _slightly_ implausible but very entertaining in how it all works out :-)

Intro time:

I'm a sociological researcher, currently completing my PhD at Uni of Southampton. My work centres around #QueerFuturity #MutualAid #DigitalMethods #YoungPeople and #QueerUtopias.

I also work on projects focusing on #YoungCarers and #MentalHealth at LSE.

As a #theatre producer, I specialise in engagement and accessibility to the arts. My company Global Voices Theatre collaborates with playwrights and artists worldwide.

I have #ADHD and I like #bouldering, #drag and ketchup (soz).
