Kate and Jol Temple love to write silly books for kids! Some
of them rhyme and others do not, but all of them have pictures
because pictures are cool and anyone who says they're not is a
two-headed yeti. Their books have won several awards, such as the
2020 Charlotte Huck Award at NCTE. The Underdogs is their debut
chapter book series. Kate and Jol live in Sydney, Australia, with
their two sons and a dog that thinks it's a racoon. You can learn
