About the Author
Michael Wagner is the author of more than 80 books for children including the much-loved Maxx Rumble series, the CBCA Notable picture books Why I Love Footy, Why I Love Summer and Bear Make Den (which he co-authored with Jane Godwin) and the So Wrong series which was shortlisted for multiple children's choice awards in 2019 and 2020. Nathan Lyon is an international cricketer who showed remarkable talent at a very young age and played his junior cricket in country NSW and the ACT. Nathan's international cricket potential was noticed in 2011 while he was combining his two passions of cricket and being a greenkeeper at Adelaide Oval. Since then, it has been a whirlwind rise to the top. Dave Williams has worked as a graphic designer and illustrator for many years, and creating fun, bright illustrations to help tell stories is what he finds most rewarding about children's publishing. Based in the Northwest of England, Dave works (digitally) from his spare room at home in the company of his Sprocker Spaniel Charlie and a few cheeky Ragdoll cats.
