ZIZOU CORDER is the not-so-secret identity of Louisa Young and her now seventeen year old daughter Isabel Adomakoh Young, who have been writing together since Isabel was seven. They have previously written four books: the critically acclaimed LIONBOY trilogy, Lee Raven, Boy Thief.
They wander the world in a gilded balloon, and have seventeen pet ducks and eight miniature grand pianos, as well as the lizard and the dead tortoise.
