Emily Snape is an author and illustrator living in London and her latest book, Fergus the Furball was released in February 2020. She loves audio books, sitcoms and graphic novels, actually anything with a good story and great characters. Her studio is full of stacks of paper, pencils that need sharpening, half completed notebooks and cups of coffee. She has three lively children, Leo, Fin and Flo who keep her on her toes and give her lots of inspiration for book ideas. When she's not in her studio, she likes unpredictable adventures and thinks life is too short for matching socks.
Our chat with Emily…
When Daniel's parents scoot off to Scotland instead of celebrating his tenth birthday, leave his dipsy aunt in charge and give him a plant as his present (not the PET he'd pleaded for), can you really blame him for wishing he had a guinea pig instead of a brother? Now Daniel must somehow undo the magic before his parents find out, whilst also managing to defeat bullies, escape nutty chefs, make new friends and ultimately learn how much he truly does love his younger brother (even if he now eats his own poo).
