About the Author

Martin Bustamante is an illustrator and painter from Argentina. At the age of 3 he was able to draw a horse "starting by the tail"as his mother always tells. As a teenager he found on movies like Star Wars and books as Prince Valiant, from Harold Foster, new and fascinating worlds full of colors, shapes and atmospheres that became his inspiration for drawing. At that moment drawing and painting became his passions. He started working as a professional illustrator and has work for several editorials and magazines from Argentina, Usa and Europe.

A.J. Sautter is an author and editor of dozens of high-interest books for young readers. He enjoys learning and working on a wide range of subjects from pirates and robots to dragons, sports, and magic tricks. He lives in North Mankato, MN with his wife and two children. In his spare time he enjoys reading, going to movies, and cheering for the Minnesota Vikings.
