Sara Latta creëert boeiende verhalen voor jonge lezers, waarin ze duikt in de complexiteit van donkere materie, het verborgen leven van microben, DNA, botten en de mysteries van forensische wetenschap. Haar academische achtergrond, waaronder een master in immunologie, informeert haar vermogen om complexe wetenschappelijke concepten met duidelijkheid en boeiende proza te belichten.
