Julie Sykes has always enjoyed telling tales. Not the 'she ate all the cake' kind, just wildly exaggerated tales of everyday events. Julie still loves telling stories, and is the bestselling author of more than 120 books for children published world-wide. She is also the co-author of the New York Times Bestselling Unicorn Academy series, now streaming on Netflix. Julie lives in Cornwall with her family, two energetic sprollies and a white wolf who cunningly disguises as a dog. When she’s not writing, Julie likes eating cake, flying on her magic carpet, walking, and reading. The third book in her Luna Grace series, Luna Grace: Girl from Outer Space (Monster Mix Up) publishes with Piccadilly Press in August 2026.
