Phil Cummings' understanding of the way young readers see the world and talk about it has made him one of Australia's most successful picture book writers. His first novel 'Angel', contained the same warmth and humur, the same power of observation and authentic language that have made him so appealing to younger readers. His other titles with Random House Australia include, 'A Peice of Mind', 'The Rented House', 'On the Run' and 'Breakaway'.
