Stephan Pastis is the creator of the best-selling series TIMMY FAILURE, which published in over 40 languages and which was adapted into one of Disney+'s first feature films. An attorney turned cartoonist, Pastis lives in the Bay Area, with his wife and two children. Critics have praised Pastis for appealing to young readers with his knack for comic timing and the interplay between cartoon, text, and elements of the absurd in his storytelling.

'The comic strip-style art, with minimal shading or detail and a hand-lettered font, is well suited for the manic, madcap humour. A wild ride infused with anarchic glee.' - Kirkus 'Deadpan humor abounds alongside a cartoonlike approach to violence and destruction (buildings explode, angry mobs stampede and loot), but it's really the utterly unpredictable, absurdist plotting that propels this screwball adventure forward.' - Publishers Weekly 'Follows a strange logic of its own that leads to hilarious callbacks ... [Pastis] builds a world of jokes along the way.' - School Library Journal
