As well as writing the bestselling Kid Normal series and the brilliant adventures The Great Dream Robbery and Super Ghost with Chris Smith, Greg James is the host of the Radio 1 Breakfast Show, the cricket-based podcast Tailenders, and Radio 4’s Rewinder. Basically he’s turned all his favorite things into work and now has no hobbies. Greg lives in north London with his wife, Bella, and his dog, Barney, who is staring at him impatiently because he wants to go for a walk.
Chris Smith is the author of loads of lovely books, including the award-winning, bestselling Kid Normal series, which he co-wrote with Greg James. He’s also a former champion bell ringer—seriously—and a number one recording artist (kind of). As well as his books with Greg, Chris writes books on his own, including the fabulous fantasy adventure Frankie Best Hates Quests. Before he was an author, Chris worked as a newsreader and presenter on radio stations including Xfm and BBC Radio 1. His most famous news bulletin is probably the one sampled by George Michael in 1998 and used on his international hit “Outside.”
