About the Author

Sally Rippin is a best-selling and beloved author for children, and the eighth Australian Children's Laureate. Her most popular series include Billie B Brown, Hey Jack! and School of Monsters, and she has over 10 million books in print worldwide. She has also written one book for adults: Wild Things: How We Learn to Read and What Can Happen If We Don’t

As the Australian Children’s Laureate, Sally promotes the importance and transformational power of reading, creativity and story in the lives of young Australians. She is passionate about literacy and access to stories, and travels across the world speaking with parents, teachers and librarians about how to engage struggling readers.

Chris Kennett has been drawing ever since he could hold a pencil (or so his mum says). But professionally, Chris has been creating quirky characters for just over 20 years. He's best known for drawing weird and wonderful creatures from the Star Wars universe, and his School of Monsters and Cross Bones series.
