Holly Webb started writing while working as a children's books editor. But writing is more fun, and can be done while sitting on a sofa, although it's tricky when the cat decides to sit on the laptop. Holly lives near Reading, with her husband and three boys, and it the author of best-selling books for Stripes and Orchard, among others. Sophy Williams took a degree in graphic art at Kingston and was runner-up in the Reader's Digest Young Illustrators Competition.
