Background
Author Context: James Patterson, Chris Grabenstein, and Joe Sutphin
Word of Mouse was created by three people: writers James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein and illustrator Joe Sutphin. All three men are experienced in children’s storytelling, and they aim to blend humor, conflict, and heart in their work.
Patterson is an American author known for his thrillers and mystery novels. He is best known for his Alex Cross series, which began with Along Came a Spider (1993) and now has over 30 entries. His writing is characterized by short chapters and fast-paced plots. In addition to numerous awards, his works frequently feature on bestseller lists, and he holds the Guinness World Record for most #1 New York Times bestselling books by a single author. In addition to thrillers and mysteries, Patterson has also ventured into young adult fiction and romance. Many of his books, such as Word of Mouse, are written in collaboration with other authors.
Grabenstein is one of Patterson’s collaborators. They began their partnership after working together in advertising.
