About the Author

Eoin Colfer started writing in primary school with gripping Viking stories inspired by what he was learning in class. In 2001 he published the first book in the Artemis Fowl series, which went on to sell millions of copies across the globe. He says, "I will keep writing until people stop reading or I run out of ideas. Hopefully neither of these will happen anytime soon." Eoin lives in Ireland with his wife and two children and was the Laureate na nog (Irish Children's Laureate) from 2014-2016. Oliver Jeffers is a highly acclaimed talent in picture books. He graduated from The University of Ulster in 2001 with First Class honours and has since exhibited his paintings around the world. His outstanding talent has already been recognised by several high-profile awards, including the Nestle Children's Book Prize Gold Award, the Blue Peter Book of the Year Award and the Irish Children's Book of the Year. www.oliverjeffers.com
