Since she was a child, Amy has always pestered anyone that'll listen with questions and random facts.

When she's not reading or doodling, she enjoys playing video games and adventuring in new worlds.

Victoria (Vicky to almost everyone) has degrees in Evolutionary Biology and Science Communication, and loves writing about the weird and wonderful world. When she's not writing or reading, you'll probably find her walking, dancing, gaming, watching wildlife or baking a cake.

Mairi Mackinnon has lived in England, Scotland, France, Italy and Spain, and worked as a teacher, translator and tour manager before joining Usborne. Over the years she has written and edited Usborne books in sixteen languages, from Arabic to Welsh. She lives in a house full of thousands of books and many strange musical instruments, from electric cellos to didgeridoos.

Growing up by the seaside, Megan buried herself in books (and sometimes pebbles). She studied English at university, and later Children's Literature, before teaching English to teenagers in a secondary school. She now writes books for Usborne about all kinds of things, from trucks and trains to bats and ballerinas.
