Laura Gallego García (born in Quart de Poblet, Valencia (Spain) on 11 October 1977) is a Spanish author of young adult literature.

[1] At the age of 21, after finishing high school, she decided to study Hispanic Philology in the University of Valencia.

Her novel ‘Donde los árboles cantan’, published in October 2011, won the ‘Premio Nacional de Literatura Infantil y Juvenil’ in 2012.

[3] In March 2017, she published ‘Por una rosa’, a book that contains three stories written by three different novelists: Laura Gallego, Javier Ruescas and Benito Taibo.

The characters constantly express their feelings, doubts, misgivings, disappointment, etc., and are guided by them, generally more so than other concepts such as honour or duty.

This fact is favoured by the decision to employ a passionate love triangle in his story ‘Memorias de Idhún’.

Her books have been translated into a multitude of languages: Bulgarian, Catalan, Danish, English, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian and Swedish.

[3][5][6] The major prize the novelist has received is the ‘Premio Nacional de Literatura Infantil y Juvenil’ in 2012 with her fantasy-epic story ‘Dónde los árboles cantan’.

This award meant that her story was the best book in children's or juvenile literature published in 2011 in any of the official languages spoken in Spain.
