About the Author

PHIL EARLE was born and raised in Hull and kick-started his love of books with a job as a children's bookseller. Phil now works in children's publishing and is the award-winning author of several books for young readers including Get Me Out of Here, a recent collaboration with Andy McNab, and the young adult novels Being Billy, and Mind the Gap. Phil's When the Sky Falls was Waterstones Children's Book of the Month for June 2021. Steve May has been a life-long doodler, studying fine art and film making in Nottingham and Animation at the Royal College of Art. Steve's scratchy spontaneous illustration style made him the perfect partner for Puffin's best-selling Dennis the Menace fiction series, Harry Hill's Matt Mills series and Francesca Simon's Terrible Viking books. He has also been happily immersed in a world of burps, beards and bogeys as part of his collaboration with Gareth Jones on the Pet Defenders series.
