Jenny McLachlan was an English teacher before she started writing books. Although she loved teaching funny teenagers (and stealing the things they said and putting them in her books), she now gets to write full-time. In her spare time, Jenny loves to jive. Visit her website at: www.jennymclachlan.com. Sarah Hoyle is an illustrator living and working in between the dreamy spires of Oxford, UK. She has always loved drawing, especially creating characters and scenes because she thinks people are endlessly fascinating and entertaining.
