About the Author

Terrie Chilvers writes funny middle grade fiction and non-fiction. She works freelance as a copywriter and social media consultant but is most happy when teaching a dog to high-five or taking a picture of her Eggs Benedict to post on Instagram.
Terrie lives in London where she is the doting aunt to two long-haired sausage dogs.

For much of his life Tim Budgen has been scribbling down ideas and can usually be found with a pencil in one hand and a sketchbook in the other! He has a real passion for character design and storytelling. His illustration work has been described as 'story telling with whimsical charm, warmth and humour' and he'd like to think that is pretty true!
Tim lives with his wife by the sea on Hayling Island with their pets Baxter and Alfie.
