"On a tiny street, in a tiny town, lives a tiny inventor called Edie. She's always coming up with clever new contraptions, but Edie's inventions are always TOP SECRET. After all, everyone knows that the best inventors do it all by themselves, don't they? But when Edie can't find a way to solve her biggest problem yet--a mischievous magpie--she must find a way to work with the whole town to stop the thief."--Back cover.

Patrick Corrigan was born on a crisp, cold December day in a small, cloudy town in Cheshire, England. With a passion for precision as a child, he grew up patiently drawing and designing arts and crafts. This took him to study ceramics at University, train as an art teacher and eventually become an Art Director at a busy design studio where he worked for nearly 10 years. Whilst there he honed his skills working on well over 500 educational and picture books for children as well as animations and branding. Patrick lives and works near Manchester.
