Jodie Parachini is an American/British author and editor who currently lives in Hertfordshire, England. Jodie has written fifteen children's books, including Listening to the Stars, HeroRat!, and Flicker Finds Her Glow. In addition to earning multiple starred reviews for her work, Jodie has been named a finalist in the PBParty competition, the Macmillan Write Now Prize, and the OhZoe Rising Talent Award.

Flicker visits Grampa and Nana Glowworm all by herself, and since she is a big girl now, she is sure she does not need a map to find her way through the many zig-zaggy hallways of The Grand Bug Hotel--or does she?
