Never Girls #9: Before the Bell (Disney: The Never Girls)

Kiki Thorpe spent much of her childhood reading, daydreaming, and searching for fairies in the forests of Idaho—pastimes that were good training for writing children’s books! She is the author of several books in the Disney Fairies chapter book series, including the New York Times bestseller The Trouble with Tink. She lives with her husband, Greg, and their two children in San Francisco.

Jana Christy has illustrated When the Wind Blows and When the Snow Falls. She loves drawing girls with attitude, boys with pluck, the chickens that wander around her garden, punks, robots, cavemen and zombies, bleak weather, windy days, sea creatures, and more. She also loves creating handmade minibooks with her husband, exploring new places with her children, and letting her brain and brushes wander.
