Author Notes: Will Mabbitt writes. He writes in libraries, in cafes, on the toilet, and sometimes, when his laptop runs out of power, he writes in his head. Before he got paid to do this, he worked in London and spent a lot of time stuck on the train--which is where he wrote his first book, The Unlikely Adventures of Mabel Jones . Will Mabbitt lives with his family somewhere on the south coast of England.
