Samantha Bell

Samantha lives in Bristol but is originally from Dorset. She loves spending time outdoors, particularly days at the beach, as well as reading, yoga and exploring new cities and countries.

She is passionate about the environment and wrote The Girl who Saved the Ocean to help educate children about plastic pollution in the ocean, and also to get them excited about how they can make a difference.

Her inspiration to write The Girl Who Saved The Ocean came from reading about different charities and the amazing work they do to protect the ocean, whether that is through organising beach cleans, raising money or organising petitions to drive change.

Her book is a fun way of getting children involved in this important cause. She also wanted to donate a percentage of profits from the book towards some inspirational charities.
