Nic Gill grew up in Tasmania, on a small farm with a large number of animals. She works to help people to manage their local environments and lives in Hobart with her three-legged cat, a family of ring-tailed possums, some Pekin frizzle bantams, countless native birds, and her human partner, James. She was bitten by an impressive array of animals while researching this book. Nic Gill strongly believes that we have to work together today to build the world we'd like to live in tomorrow. Five per cent of her proceeds from this book will go directly to supporting animal eco-warrior projects.

"Magnificent: fascinating and with deep accuracy and originality rarely found in non-fiction for young people....This will be irresistible for anyone who loves animals or the intricate interrelations between humans and the natural world."--Jackie French
