About the Author

Blake Hoena has written more than one hundred books for children, including an original graphic novel series, Eek & Ack, and graphic novel retellings of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Peter Pan. Blake lives in Saint Paul, Minnesota, with his wife, two dogs, two cats, and hundreds of comics. Sareki López is a Tlaxcalan and Mexican artist whose passion for drawing was born at a young age. Drawing evolved from a hobby to her passion and then obsession. Her unique art style is marked by fantasy and the Japanese manga style, creating an amalgamation with Mexican culture. This has led her to represent Mexico at various international events, including the Angouleme Festival in France, considered the world's most important festival of sequential art.
