Nik Korpon is the author of several mystery and sci-fi novels, none of which his kids can read yet. He likes to climb mountains, surf waves, and pet cats, though not at the same time. He met Jorge as a Spanish tutor, then they became parceros (you'll get it when you read the book), and now cowriters. He lives north of Baltimore with his wife, the two aforementioned kids, and assorted cats. This is his first middle-grade novel. Jorge Enrique Paz was born in the vibrant city of Cali, Colombia, where the rhythm of salsa and the purring of cats inspire him every day. A lover of anime, music, and animals (especially cats), Jorge wrote his first children's book as a tribute to everything he loves. Fun fact: his cat once saved his life, and they’ve been inseparable ever since. This book is just the beginning of many more furry and magical adventures to come.
