About this title

About the Author

Alex Lane has steadily worked her way through the career alphabet: trying pretty much everything from boom operating, to being a horse riding instructor, personal assistant and stuntwoman (not all at the same time). Having decided that none of these were quite right, she went to university and did a degree and then an MA in creative writing. She now writes books, screenplays and the occasional poem, mostly for children. Sholto Walker has been an artist and illustrator more or less since graduating in 1988. He finally gave up completely any semblance of a real job somewhere around 1994 to pursue illustration full-time. Since then he has illustrated many, many books. Highlights would include giant hairy caterpillars, terrifying insects, crazy fish and cats and dogs on bicycles. Nikki Gamble is the founder and Director of Write Away and Just Imagine Story Centre. Nikki has worked in education and reading promotion for over 25 years, Formerly a teacher (secondary and primary) and teacher educator, she is lecturer, writer and education consultant. Nikki is also on the current Executive Committee of United Kingdom Literacy Association (UKLA).
