If you aren't convinced, just watch her at a reading as she hops around the stage. We have it on good authority that she also walks in circles around square things like dining tables when she's stuck on a plot point, thus proving that she is, indeed, Squiggle in human form. ‘An award-winning author, Natasha did an MBA and has a graduate degree in math. Since she likes ‘numbers, we thought we'd share a few with you: Icy, Yucky, Mucky (also published by Young Zubaan) was her first book. squiggle Takes a Walk (also published by Young Zubaan with Puffin) was her tenth book. Vileam and the Vampire (also published by Young Zubaan) was, aptly enough, her thirteenth book Squiggle Gets Stuck (yes, also published by Young Zubaan with Puffin) is her fifteenth book.OTHER Books, py NATASHA SHARMA Princess p Shy Rooster Ra Akbar and the Tricky Traitor Ashoka and the Muddled Messages Raja Raja and the Swapped Sacks 766 Words inn Razia and the Pesky Presents Kaka and Hoy Bonkers!
