About the Author
John Patrick Green lives and works in New York City where he makes books and comics about animals with human jobs, notably the smash-hit graphic novel series InvestiGators. He's worked as a comics consultant for Disney, Nickelodeon and Dreamworks. With over a million copies of InvestiGators - starring Mango and Brash the sewer-dwelling crime busters - in the wild, he also creates artwork for video games. He lives in a flat in Brooklyn that doesn't allow any pets, or animals, so he has to make do with the ones living in his imagination.
