Time for bookmarks, the moment in the week where you get to meet an interesting person and learn about their life, but also when you get to take away some suggestions of what to read, listen to and watch.
Today we're joined by 17-year-old New Zealand - Zimbabwean author Rutendo Shadaya, she is behind a series of a series of children’s fantasy books featuring strong female leads.
They're called Rachel and the Mischievous, Rachel and Chevene Pirates and Rachel and the Enchanted Forest and if it's not impressive enough writing and self-publishing books as a teenager, earlier this year Rutendo was named one of Time Magazine's 'Girls of the Year 2025'.
She chats to Susana.
