About The Author
Joan Lennon was born in Canada and came to Scotland in 1978. She has had
a wide range of jobs from ice-cream sundae constructor to piano teacher to
Putzfrau at the Munich Olympics. She now lives in Fife, a Kingdom which is
said to have the shape of a dog's head. If this is true, her house is on
the tip of the ear, which explains a lot. She has written novels for all
age groups and is attempting to break the world record for the largest
number of books to include the word "ferret" somewhere in them. Joan has
a husband, four tall sons, one short cat, and has decided to go on writing
forever.
