Adam Baron is the author of five successful novels and has, in his time, been an actor, comedian, journalist and press officer at Channel 4 television (as well as things he’s too embarrassed to mention). He now runs the widely respected MA in Creative Writing at Kingston University London. Adam lives in Greenwich, South London, with his wife and three young children. He wrote Boy Underwater (his first novel aimed at younger readers) because they told him to. While still in the flush of youth he knows what his final words are going to be: 'clear the table’.

From a young age Benji was invariably to be found drawing and painting at the kitchen table, a scene which is often repeated to this day.

He is the prize-winning illustrator of all the Bizzy Bear books and apps, as well as a number of recent picture books, including The Storm Whale, and Grandad's Island. Benji lives in east London.
