    About the Author

    Matt Dickinson is an award-winning writer and filmmaker with a passion for climbing and adventure. During his filmmaking career he has worked as a director/cameraman for National Geographic television, the Discovery Channel, the BBC and Channel 4. His film projects have taken him to Antarctica, Africa and the Himalaya, often in the company of the world’s leading climbers and expeditioners. His most notable film success was Summit Fever in which Matt reached the summit of Everest via the treacherous north face. His book The Death Zone tells the true story of that ascent and has become a bestseller in many different countries. Matt is currently patron of reading at Eltham College and continues to climb and explore. In January 2013 he summited Mount Aconcagua, which, at 6,965 metres, is the highest peak in the world outside the Himalaya. In 2016, and again in 2017, he was back on Everest as writer in residence with Jagged Globe’s South Col Expedition. Currently, he is planning an ascent of Denali in Alaska, one of the ‘seven summits’. Recently Matt has started writing fiction for teenage readers. His debut thriller series Mortal Chaos was well received by critics and readers alike. Matt followed this up with the Everest Files, a dramatic and popular trilogy set on the world’s highest mountain, and the teen thriller Lie Kill Walk Away. When he’s not writing, Matt tours the globe, speaking at schools and colleges and inspiring a new generation of adventurers.

      What an adventurous life this Author lives. Having a fear of heights I can only admire his climbing. And this story sounds just as interesting and adventurous.

      I want to win because yes I love squirrels. I used to feed them daily when we had big trees that they lived in. However due to a tree disease, we had to have the two big trees they lived in taken down, so the squirrels moved to a neighbors yard with trees. I think many little boys around here would love this book and could learn a lesson about working together.

      Long back when I was Eleven, a baby squirrel, all pinkish fell on my laps while I was reading under a tree, munching on pop-corns. I want to win this book for my Eleven year old daughter now to recreate some unique magic+memories for her.

      I love watching squirrels run around with each other and chatter. They are cute and funny. Sometimes I think they like it when people watch them because they seem like they’re putting on a show.

      I love popcorn. It makes a great supper in summer, along with half a watermelon. Air popped with butter, kettle popped, campfire popped – all good.

      Do I love squirrels? Heck yes! I am a squirrel protector, because my dogs love squirrels in a terrible way, and I’m always on the lookout, watching out for the little fellows.

      No I don’t like squirrels. They eat all the food in our birdfeeders but I do like popcorn and would like this book to read to my grandchild
