Victoria Williams (Author)
Victoria (Vicky to almost everyone) has degrees in Evolutionary Biology and Science Communication, and loves writing about the weird and wonderful world. When she's not writing or reading, you'll probably find her walking, dancing, gaming, watching wildlife or baking a cake.
Mairi Mackinnon (Author)

Over the years she has written and edited Usborne books in sixteen languages, from Arabic to Welsh. She lives in a house full of teenagers, books and curious musical instruments.
Megan Cullis (Author)
Growing up by the seaside, Megan buried herself in books (and sometimes pebbles).
