About the Author
Jenny McLachlan is the author of several acclaimed teen novels including Flirty Dancing, Stargazing for Beginners and Truly, Wildly, Deeply. Before Jenny became a writer, she was Head of English in a secondary school; she now loves visiting schools as an author and delivering funny and inspiring talks and workshops. When Jenny isn't thinking about stories or writing stories, she enjoys living by the seaside, cycling and running over the South Downs. Chloe Dominique is an Illustrator and Concept Artist from the UK working in Animation, Video Games and Publishing. Her work is driven by a love of storytelling, which she explores through design, colour and light in her illustrations. Chloe often finds herself drawn to projects that are full of heart, adventure and charm, with a special fondness for the offbeat and mysterious. When she's not drawing, Chloe enjoys reading, walks along the coastline on blustery days with her Dog of Mischief, Loki, and finding peculiar treasures in antique shops.
