About The Author

Lee Newbery

Lee Newbery lives with his son and dog in a seaside town in West Wales. By day he works for a charity, helping people to share their stories through creative writing, painting and participatory arts, and by night he sits down at his laptop to write.

His first book, The Last Firefox, won the Wales Book of the Year People’s Choice Award and was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize.

Lee enjoys adventuring, drinking ridiculous amounts of tea, and giving his dog a good cuddle - or a cwtch, as they say in Wales.
