Alesha Dixon says:

My inspiration to create a superhero called Lightning Girlbegan with wanting my young daughter to feel empowered.

It’s been a dream to create a strong role model thatany child can look up to – I want my readers to see themselves in Aurora, who is dealing with trouble at home and trouble at school alongside her new powers.

I also have a love of precious stones and their healing properties; I have always been fascinated with their spectacular colours and the positive energy that they bring.

As human beings we are always searching for something greater within ourselves and a deeper meaning to life and it’s my belief that we all have a light within us that can affect change and bring good to the world... we just have to harness it! :) Enter Aurora Beam!
