M. G. Leonard has made up stories since she was a girl, but back then adults called them lies or tall tales and she didn't write them down. As a grown up, her favourite things to create stories about are beetles, birds and trains. Her books have been translated into over forty languages and won many awards. She is the vice president of the insect charity Buglife, and a founding author of Authors4Oceans.
She lives in Brighton with her husband, two sons, a fat cat called Kasper, a dog called Nell, and a variety of exotic beetles. Sam Sedgman is a bestselling author, presenter, and keen ferroequinologist. A lifelong fan of crime fiction, he used to make murder mystery treasure hunts for a living, and still makes his family play Cluedo at Christmas. He grew up with a railway line at the bottom of his garden and has been mad about trains ever since.
He lives in London. Elisa Paganelli was born in Italy and since childhood hasn't been able to resist the smell of paper and pencils. She graduated from the European Institute of Design in Turin and worked in advertising, as well as running an award-winning design shop and studio. She now collaborates as a freelance designer with publishers and advertising agencies all over the world, including designing and illustrating The House With Chicken Legs (Usborne) and the Travels of Ermine series (Usborne).
