Based in Victoria, British Columbia, Whitney Gardner is an author and cartoonist who spends most of her time hidden in the Pacific Northwest wrapped in a fuzzy sweater. She started drawing stick figures in second grade and somehow no one’s been able to stop her. Before becoming an author she worked as an art teacher and school librarian where she fell utterly and completely in love with children’s books. Whitney is noted for her many books including: Long Distance,You’re Welcome Universe, Fake Blood, Chaotic Good and The RACC Pack YA graphic novels. In the rare moment Whitney isn’t writing or drawing, she’s likely to be reading comics, running D&D campaigns, or roasting coffee.

The story of The RACC Pack #2: Prince and the Pawper goes like this: “The Bins siblings have their sights set on the big pet expo in the heart of downtown Toronto. Dusty, Scraps, and ReRe expect to loot the convention for the latest treats, and they definitely don’t expect to meet…Dusty’s doppelganger?! Prince the Raccoon is everything Dusty isn’t—famous, pampered, and rich! But Prince wants to know what life is like outside his comfy digs and on the streets. So, with the Bins’ help, Dusty and Prince decide to switch places. At first, Dusty has a great time living it up, but he soon learns the grass isn’t always greener on the other side…even when that side has all the snacks he can eat!”
