About the Author

Keith Marantz is a self-proclaimed sci-fi/comedy nerd. Seeing the movies Star Wars and Airplane! in theaters as a child was life-changing for him. And because of that, his writing often gravitates (get it?) toward a blend of those two genres. In addition to writing, Keith has a passion for music. He was a music producer and a member of the Recording Academy for over a decade, and he still performs as a DJ at retro events, playing disco and '80s music using only vinyl records. Keith lives in Orange County, California. Larissa Brown is a Disney fine artist whose works are displayed in the galleries of Disneyland Resorts. She is also a former animation artist for Nickelodeon's Rugrats and Rocket Power and has illustrated almost a dozen books for Nickelodeon's licensed properties, including Avatar: The Last Airbender. She has taught art and comics to folks at Cartoon Network, Google, and LinkedIn, as well as thousands of children, teens, and adults all over the world through her educational company, OC Art Studios. Her favorite color is yellow, and she loves doing yoga and eating brownies, but not at the same time. Larissa is the illustrator and cocreator of the Clyde the Hippo picture book series, published with Penguin Workshop.
