Author Biography
Dustin Brady writes books for kids who think they hate reading. His Trapped in a Video Game series has sold over one million copies because--as it turns out--there are a lot of kids who think they hate reading. Dustin loves Tetris, pinball, trick shot videos, and many other silly pastimes that he calls "book research" even though they very much don't seem like book research. He lives in Cleveland, Ohio with his wife, three kids, and a small dog named Nugget. Dustin honestly can't believe he gets to do this for a living.
A.K. Atticus has been drawing since he was old enough to hold a pencil. Growing up on Florida's sunny Treasure Coast, he honed a style that blends inventive characters with an eye for detail. Today, he channels his imagination into comic book covers, creature designs, and book illustrations for audiences around the world.
