Author Biography
Mark Powers has been making up ridiculous stories since primary school and is slightly shocked to find people now pay him to do it. He grew up in north Wales and now lives in Manchester. His favourite animals are the binturong, the aye-aye and the dodo. Dapo Adeola is an illustrator and designer who creates characters and images that challenge gender norms in a fun and upbeat way. He is the co-creator of the picture book series Look Up. London born and bred but of Nigerian heritage, when he's not busy cooking up new characters and adventures you can find him running illustration and character design workshops in and out of schools, to help highlight the possibilities of a career in illustration to inner-city children. Space Detectives is the first fiction series he has illustrated in the UK.
