STEVE BRAMUCCI is a novelist, travel writer, adventurer, teacher, and storyteller. He has rowed down the Mekong River in a traditional Vietnamese x'ampan, ventured into the outback with Aboriginal elders, and spent four months driving a rickety Nissan Patrol through East Africa. His story of exploring a long-forgotten pirate graveyard in Madasgascar won the Trazzler Oasis prize and his trip across Australia in a car fueled with French fry oil was turned into an Australian TV show. Bramucci's first novel, The Danger Gang and the Pirates of Borneo! was published by Bloomsbury in August 2017. MARGARET GUREVICH has written for many magazines, including SELF , Ladies' Home Journal , Parents , New Jersey Monthly , and Girls' Life . Chloe by Design: Making the Cut was her first middle grade novel, followed by the sequel, Balancing Act. She also writes YA novels under the name Margie Gelbwasser. When not writing, Gurevich enjoys spending time with her family, running, cooking, and reading.
