Captain Cat and the Great Pirate Race

Sue Mongredien has had over one hundred children's books published, including the Oliver Moon and Secret Mermaid series for Usborne, and the Prince Jake books for Orchard. She is also one of the authors behind the internationally best-selling Rainbow Magic series, as Daisy Meadows. She lives in Bath with her husband and their three children. Her laugh-out-loud Captain Cat series is her first series for Macmillan Children's Books. Kate Pankhurst lives in Leeds with her family and spotty dog, Olive.
She has a studio based in an old spinning mill where she writes and illustrates children's books. Her projects have included the Fantastically Great Women series and Mariella Mystery Investigates series. Kate is distantly related to the suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst, something that has been an influence on the type of books she enjoys creating for children.
