Leigh Hodgkinson is the illustrator of the Magical Mix-Ups series. She is an award-winning animator and worked as art director on the BAFTA award winning animated series Charlie and Lola. She is absolutely passionate about writing, making things up, and daydreaming. Leigh Hodgkinson lives in Surrey, England and is married with a baby daughter.
Hodgkinson’s mixed-media artwork is the real star. The retro
illustrations are done in bold blues, lime greens and pinks and are
full of patterns and wonderfully scratchy and marbled textures. The
blond family’s clothing, hairdos and attitudes neatly match their
penthouse home, and the text plays into the artwork.
—Kirkus Reviews
Hodgkinson’s drawings and helter-skelter text bear a resemblance to
Lauren Child’s “Charlie and Lola” books, but this story’s happy
ending is very much its own.
—New York Times online
The snappy, British-flavored language is perfectly paired with
jazzy mixed-media illustrations in mustard yellow, teal, lime, and
magenta.
—School Library Journal
