A storybook character challenges you, the reader, to a game, resulting in a jinx forbidding you to talk. Can you remain silent for the remainder of the book and get released from the jinx? Or, is this book simply too funny and surprising to hold in your giggles and screams?...
Evelyn Bookless grew up in the west of Ireland and with only two TV channels at the time, and no internet, she played JINX... a lot! She was eventually released from a particularly long JINX, so that she could study English at university and later became a teacher. Evelyn now lives in Spain and her favorite place to be is in the sea, dreaming up silly stuff.
Anna Süssbauer grew up in Cologne, Germany and always loved drawing and reading since she was a little child. Coming from a creative family, she has been surrounded by art books, picture books, comics, and her father's typewriter, on which she used to type her own stories to illustrate. Her first career was in web design and sales. Later, she got into human resources for a large retail company. She studied computer science in media alongside her job. Years later, after having her lovely daughter Emilia and getting back to work part-time, she decided to become a freelance illustrator in the picture books industry—always driven by her passion for graphic design and the love for clear structures, bright colors, and wild textures. Anna’s work is inspired by a whimsical sense of humor—she has a thing for silly jokes—and by her love for all kind of animals, including her two dogs Patsy and Brixie.
