Louie Stowell started her career writing carefully
researched books about space, ancient Egypt, politics, and science,
but eventually she lapsed into just making stuff up. She likes
writing about dragons, wizards, vampires, fairies, monsters, and
parallel worlds. Louie Stowell lives in London with her wife,
Karen; her dog, Buffy; and a creepy puppet that is probably
cursed.
Davide Ortu is an Italian artist who started a career in
graphic design before discovering children’s book illustration. He
is on a quest to conjure colorful and fantastic places where time
stops to offer the biggest emotions to the smallest people. Davide
Ortu lives in Spain.
Three friends fight an evil developer who wants to tear down the
magical library. . .Playful illustrations complement the witty
dialogue, dryly ironic narrative voice, and comical villainy.
Joyful and funny.
