Maudie Powell-Tuck (Author) When not writing, Maudie spends far too much of her time in expensive shops gawping at clothes and glittery things she cannot afford, and dreaming about owning a pug called Stanley. She would love to say that she runs marathons - but that would be a lie. Hoang Giang (Illustrator) Hoang Giang was born in Dalat, a small highland city in Vietnam, before moving to Ho Chi Minh City to work as an illustrator. She always has fun while working and likes to make her characters as lively as possible - because the story belongs to the characters, themselves.
