About the Author
James is a veteran Australian cricketer whose best - and only - performances for his country came while he was asleep. Although his childhood dreams of wearing the Baggy Green cap didn't become a reality, he still went on several tours with the Australian cricket team during the 1990's. That is, as a television reporter and a more than willing net bowler.
Jules has illustrated over thirty books, most of them for children, including the best-selling Weirdo series with Ahn Do and The Kaboom Kid series with David Warner. He has worked with all seven of the major publishers in Australia, which has been fun every single time.
