About the Author:

He is the author of the popular Hero's Guide series, and lives in New Jersey with his wife, their two children, and a dog named Duncan.
BEN MANTLE has most recently been working as a children's book illustrator from his shared studio in Brighton, England. He also produces screen prints and digital artwork for exhibitions. Ben has illustrated numerous picture books, including the popular books Five Little Pumpkins and There Was an Old Dragon Who Swallowed a Knight.

BEN MANTLE has most recently been working as a children's book illustrator from his shared studio in Brighton, England. He also produces screen prints and digital artwork for exhibitions. Ben has illustrated numerous picture books, including the popular books Five Little Pumpkins and There Was an Old Dragon Who Swallowed a Knight.
"The narrative text shares space with dialogue bubbles, reinforcing the feeling of intrusion and interruption. Mantle's clear and humorous illustrations give characters distinct personalities and go far to increase the playfulness and storyline with fake page turns and no-man's-land white space.Cleverly meta and totally fun, with a spoonful of (almost tongue-in-cheek) morals thrown in." —Kirkus Reviews
