About the Author
Sally Prue isn't sure where she was born, but from the time she was adopted as a baby she was brought up in Hertfordshire, where she still lives. When her daughters were small, Sally taught recorder and piano whilst also writing children's fiction, and is the winner of the Branford Boase Award and the Smarties Prize Silver Award for her bestselling novel Cold Tom. Sally has a set of Northumbrian bagpipes that she doesn't play very often, which is probably a good thing! Brendan Kearney is an illustrator specialising in children's books and artwork. He originally studied architecture at university before realising he didn't like rulers. Having thrown away his ruler and tape measure, Brendan started doodling and now brings his own chaotic style and ideas to any project.
Reviews
Any list that brings together such a quality line up of authors is going to be welcomed ... Bloomsbury Readers are aimed squarely at children in Key Stage 2 and designed to support them as they start reading independently and while they continue to gain confidence and understanding. -- Andrea Reece * Books for Keeps *
