Lisa Harkrader grew up in a small town that, to her disappointment, was not magical, enchanted, or populated by trolls. Luckily, she found the town library and its magical books brimming with enchanted beings. Luckier still, she grew up to be a writer and is now creates enchanted worlds for other readers. Lisa Harkrader's first novel was Airball: My Life in Briefs. She wrote and illustrated her last two novels, The Adventures of Beanboy and Cool Beans: The Further Adventures of Beanboy. She lives with her family in Kansas.

Tammie Lyon has illustrated more than fifty books for children.

She began illustrating at a very young age while drawing at the kitchen table with her dad.
