Erika McGann grew up in Drogheda, County Louth, and now lives in Dublin. She is the author of many books including The Demon Notebook (winner of the Waverton Good Read Children’s Award), the ‘Cass and the Bubble Street Gang’ series and Tabitha Plimtock and the Edge of the World. Her picture books include the Where Are You, Puffling? stories (illustrated by Gerry Daly) and Standing On One Leg Is Hard and What is a Peachick? (illustrated by Clive McFarland).Gerry Daly is a children's author and illustrator living in Dublin. His previous books include the best-selling Where Are You, Puffling?, Puffling and the Egg, It's Too Dark, Puffling and Wee Donkey's Treasure Hunt, all written by Erika McGann. Finn's First Song was his first author illustrated book, also published by The O'Brien Press. He loves to paint birds and animals, from the tiniest to the biggest of them all.

Erika and Gerry's Puffling is one of the best picture book series out there, and this new entry meets the bar they've set. Puffling wants to go on an adventure, but bad weather and a misunderstanding leaves her a long way from home. Luckily, her habit of making friends everywhere stands her in good stead! This is a lovely addition to the series; we meet some interesting new animals and follow Puffling through a new adventure. I loved the artwork, really stormy and atmospheric!
