Sara Hjardar er 24 år gammel og kommer fra Fredrikstad. Hun ble ferdig med en bachelor i grafisk design og illustrasjon våren 2021 på Kunsthøyskolen i Oslo. Samme høst vant hun Egmonts store tegneseriekonkurranse, i skarp konkurranse med over 200 andre innsendere. Premien var 50 000 kroner og en bokkontrakt - som har resultert i denne boken.Sagt om boka: «Grøssende god start! ... Hjardar skiller seg ut ved å supplere med rause doser grøss og uhygge - og en hovedperson som føles realistisk i all sin smertefulle utenforskap og eksistensiell angst. ... Første bok om Mia Myhr er ikke bare imponerende, den er også spennende - og gjør litt vondt.». Øyvind Holen - Dagens næringsliv]]>
