Youd think growing up in a medieval abbey, surrounded by nothing but monks and hundreds of miles of swamp, would be pretty boring. Pip thinks so too, until the day he meets Perfect, a small stone gargoyle with a life of her own.Before long, the two find themselves in the midst of an assassination attempt against the new king, escaping into the cold dark night, being chased across the fens by a man bent on killing them Boring? Not so much.

Joan has done a wide range of jobs in Europe, Australia and Canada from ice-cream sundae constructor to summer camp leader to putzfrau at the Munich Olympics. She now divides her time between the demands of four tall sons, her piano pupils and her writing. Puffin will be publishing her novel for teenagers, Questors, in the summer of 2007.
