About the Author

Lachlann Carter is author of the Big Trouble series. He is a former primary school teacher, and co-founder of 100 Story Building, a creative writing centre for children and young people. He lives on a dead end in Gimuy/Cairns, Australia with his small but loud family, surrounded by large but quiet mountains, and lots and lots of palm trees. He writes all of his stories standing up.

Douglas Holgate is the illustrator of the #1 New York Times bestselling series, The Last Kids on Earth from Penguin Kids (now also an Emmy winning Netflix animated series), and the co-creator and illustrator of the graphic novel Clem Hetherington and The Ironwood Race for Scholastic Graphix. He has worked for the last 20 years making books and comics for publishers around the world from his garage in regional Victoria, Australia. He lives with his family in the Australian bush on five acres surrounded by 80 million year old volcanic boulders and a large fat dog that could possibly be part-polar bear.
