An action-packed picture book - ideal for keeping kids occupied during the holidays!

Abie Longstaff is the eldest of six children and grew up in Australia, Hong Kong and France. She knows all about squabbling, chaos and bossing younger sisters around. So she logically began her career as a barrister. She started writing when her children were born. Her favourite childhood books were Hating Alison Ashley, A Little Princess, Maura's Angel and The Black Stallion and she sneakily reads them again sometimes. Abie lives in North London with her family and a very pesky cocker spaniel who chews the post. Pirate House Swap is Abie's first book for RHCB. Mark Chambers did a Foundation course in Art and Design at Lincoln School of Art followed by a BA in Illustration at Lincoln University. The Bright Agency took him on as a promising young graduate shortly after he graduated. Pirate House Swap is Mark's first picture book for RHCB.
