About the Author

Growing up on the Wirral and in Germany, Anna wrote plays about talking animals, and stories about naughty children, and drew on every available surface. After school, she did an Art Foundation course, then a degree in German Literature & Philosophy at Oxford University. In 1998 she found her perfect job at Usborne in London, writing about everything from curious penguins to trips to the Moon. Rosie Dickins grew up in England and Hong Kong.

He is also the author of several award-winning historical adventure novels, and a hopeless cook
