About the Author
Kereen Getten grew up in Jamaica, where she would climb fruit trees in the family garden and eat as much mango, guinep and pear as she could without being caught.

Her work has been shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize, the Spark Award, Warwickshire Junior Book Award and the Jhalak Children's & YA Prize. The first book in the Di Island Crew Investigates series, The Case of the Lighthouse Intruder, was a Waterstones Book of the Month. When Life Gives You Mangoes and If You Read This are also available from Pushkin Children's.
