TOM WATSON is the author of the popular STICK DOG and STICK CAT series. And now he’s the author of this new series, TROUBLE AT TABLE 5. Tom lives in Chicago with his wife and kids and their big dog, Shadow. When he’s not at home, Tom’s usually out visiting classrooms all over the country. He’s met a lot of students who remind him of Molly, Simon, and Rosie. He’s learned that kids are smarter than adults. Like, way smarter.
