Editorial Reviews

Review

A super guide to coding for beginners... Written so clearly and simply that even a non-coding adult could understand it. - Lancashire Evening Post

About the Author

Jonathan has fond memories of eating biscuits and reading Usborne books in his grandmother's cosiest armchair as a child, so it was only natural to end up eating biscuits and writing Usborne books as a grown-up. He studied Russian at university and his favourite topics to write about are history and geography, but he'll happily tackle any subject that might give him an edge in the next pub quiz.

Louie Stowell has written dozens of non-fiction and stories for Usborne, on everything from space science and coding to the human body and politics. After working as an author/editor for Usborne, she went on to be an Editorial Director at Ladybird, Penguin Random House. She is author of the bestselling Loki novels.

Rosie Dickins grew up in England and Hong Kong. An avid reader, she always loved dreaming up her own stories. After studying literature at Oxford University, art in Paris and plenty of travelling, she settled in London, where she works for Usborne Publishing. She has written over a hundred children's books, from award-winning information books to fiction.
