About the Author
Lucy Courtenay has officially been writing children's fiction since 1999, and unofficially for a lot longer than that. Her desk drawers are full of half-finished stories waiting for the right moment to emerge and dance around her study in a shower of exuberant paperclips. Her latest books are the MERMAID SCHOOL series, illustrated by Sheena Dempsey and published by Andersen Press.
