Philip Reeve grew up in Brighton. He has been writing stories since he was five years old,but the first one to be published was Mortal Engines which won the Nestle Smarties BookPrize and Blue Peter Book Award, and was made into a blockbuster film. Philip has alsoprovided cartoons and jokes for many books, including Horrible Histories, and written themagical Utterly Dark series. Sarah McIntyre is easy to spot in her pointy glasses and hats. Sometimes she writes anddraws picture books and comics herself, and sometimes she illustrates books for otherpeople, including Giles Andreae, Alan MacDonald, Gillian Rogerson, Anne C ottringer andC laire Freedman. When Philip and Sarah make books together, they both brainstorm the story ideastogether, then Philip writes them and Sarah illustrates them. But occasionally they swaproles for a bit. And they love dressing up.
