Livi Michael has written four books for adults and began to write for children in 2000 when she wanted to amuse her seven-year-old son over the summer holidays. She started writing when she was seven years old and never stopped! If she hadn't been a writer Livi thinks she would have been 'a very sad person or, alternatively, an Arctic explorer'. The Frank titles are special for their humour and originality and appeal hugely to readers of fantasy fiction as well as to animal-lovers.
