A pirate treasure-hunt adventure full of fun and surprises
Elspeth was born during a snowstorm in Northumberland, England.
After university, she became passionately interested in reading to
her children and understanding how children learn to read. Elspeth
began to write books for children - some with her husband, and
fellow author, Mal Peet. Mal's stories became longer and longer and
he went on to be an award-winning author of books for young adults.
Mal and Elspeth loved writing picture books together and continued
to do so until Mal's death in 2015. The Treasure of Pirate Frank is
one of the last picture books that they wrote together. Elspeth is
still passionately interested in stories and the pleasure that
there is in the simple act of reading. Elspeth lives in Devon with
her dog Pedro.
Jez wanted to fly planes when he was a kid, but because he loved
drawing things more, he decided to make a career out of it. He's
been working as a professional illustrator for close to nine years,
and over this time he has worked for many clients in children's
book publishing and designing characters for animated films and TV
shows. When he's not making pictures, he does a bit of traveling,
plays board games with his friends, or finding his inner zen by
baking delicious things. Jez currently lives in New Zealand's windy
capital.
