Biographical note
Lou Treleaven started writing just as soon as she could dictate words to her mum, and was soon writing her own stories, plays and poems. After being forced to grow up, she published many picture books including The Snowflake Mistake, which was read on CBeebies Bedtime Stories by Suranne Jones, and children's novels such as the Penpals on Pluto series. She lives in a village in Bedfordshire with her husband and grown-up children, and likes reading, art, gaming and her cat Badger. Lou is represented by the Caroline Wakeman Literary Agency.<b>A fact-packed and fun-filled compendium for 9-year-olds.</b>
