About the Author
Alex is a London native and author of fantastical, action-packed stories for children and teenagers of all ages. He has been both reading and writing since he was a teenager. He was a winner of Spread the Word's 2019 London Writers Awards for YA/children's. When he's not writing, he's baking apple crumbles or playing video games. Alex now lives in Walthamstow with his girlfriend and hopes to soon welcome another cat into his life. Paula grew up in Hertfordshire, and has always loved drawing, reading and using her imagination, so she studied illustration at Falmouth College of Arts and became an illustrator. She now lives in Bristol, and has worked as an illustrator for over 10 years, and has books published with Nosy Crow and Simon & Schuster.
