Jo Simmons began her working life as a journalist. Her first
fiction series for children, Pip Street, was inspired by her own
kids’ love of funny fiction, and two Super Loud Sam books followed.
In addition to children’s fiction, she co-wrote a humorous
parenting book, Can I Give Them Back Now?: The Aargh To Zzzzzz Of
Parenting, published by Square Peg. Jo lives in Brighton with her
husband, two boys and a scruffy formerly Romanian street dog. I
Swapped My Brother on the Internet is her first book for
Bloomsbury.
