ABOUT THE AUTHOR

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 have won many awards. She is the vice-president of the insect charity Buglife, and a founding author of Authors4Oceans. She lives in England, by the sea, with her husband, two sons, a dog called Nell and a variety of exotic beetles.
