Shifty Mcgifty And Slippery Sam: Diamond Chase, The

Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam have swapped their life of crime for a career in cupcakes. But when they're asked to bake for a seriously swanky party, they find themselves caught up in the middle of a robbery. Somebody has taken Lady Kate's tiara. Can they catch the culprit? Author Biography: Tracey Corderoy (Author) Tracey was born and grew up in industrial South Wales and now lives in a hidden valley in Gloucestershire with her husband, two children and an ever-increasing menagerie of devilishly-cute-but-sometimes-rather-naughty pets. A trained teacher, Tracey has always had a passion for wonderful literature and began writing for children in 2006. Her head is happily crammed with countless ideas and stories and she's loving the adventures that her characters insist they share ... Steven Lenton (Illustrator) Steven hails from Cheshire where he spent many a school holiday working in the family pom-pom Factory, packing poms and designing new products. Since this somewhat fluffy start to his career, he has gained a BA and MA in Animation and has become a successful animator and art director within the realms of children's television. Steven also designs greetings cards and prints. His main ambition has always been to be a children's book-maker and he is very proud to be realising this dream with Nosy Crow. Steven lives with his partner Jay and his dog in Crouch End where he dunks endless amounts of hob-nobs (other biscuits are available) in big red spotty cups of tea whilst listening to Radio 2.
