Shane Hegarty (Author) Before becoming a full-time writer, Shane Hegarty was a journalist and editor of the Irish Times, and worked in radio and the music business.

Boot is his first series for younger readers. He lives near Dublin with his wife and a brutally honest young readers focus group - otherwise known as his four children. Jeff Crowther (Illustrator) For as long as Jeff can remember the only two things he's really wanted to do have been draw and tell stories. Eating burritos fits in there somewhere too.
