The publisher Scholastic is trying to track down some of its past authors, so that it can reprint their books. Email Penny Scown if you have spotted these guys in your neighbourhood recently:

Jack Newnham (author of Boss for a Week), Gary Sullivan (Cricket's Storm), Grey Armstrong/Nicki Wise (Little Duck Checks it Out), Fiona McKay/Kathryn Orton (Olwen Twelve Pockets), or David Cox (The Screaming Mean Machine).
