Little Miss Frankenstein - Alpaka oder Lama, Hauptsache Drama!

Astrid Göpfrich lives as a freelance author near Freiburg and publishes novels for children and adults. Previously, she staged cultural projects and audio productions. For her books, she draws inspiration from her own childhood: She found the story of Dr. Frankenstein and his monster very scary and grew up in a family in which everyone has a green thumb – everyone except for her. Therefore, she’s glad that her protagonist Nelly has only "created"an alpaca – even if it’s quite headstrong – and that she learned a lot about gardening by writing about wonder vegetables.

Laura Borio was born in Turin some time ago. As soon as her parents placed pencils into her hands, she was determined to try them on the kitchen walls (much to the delight of her parents). Nowadays, she no longer draws on walls but digitally or on wood. In 2008, she attended a comic class that changed her life. Most of her days are filled with drawings but she also enjoys watching fantasy movies, reading children’s books, practising tai chi, eating pancakes with friends, and annoying her cat.
