PAM SMALLCOMB grew up in the Mojave desert of Southern California. This gave her a great appreciation for two things: air conditioning and the color green. Her books include The Trimoni Twins and the Shrunken Treasure, The Trimoni Twins and the Changing Coin, The Last Burp of Mac McGerp, and Camp Buccaneer. Pam now lives in Maryland with her husband and four children. Visit her at PamSmallcomb.com.
