How to Design the World's Best Bike: In 10 Simple Steps (How to Design the World's Best)

Author: Paul Mason
Publisher: Hachette Children's Group
Category: Children's, Science & Technology
Age Group: 9+
Book Format: Hardcover

Transform a fantasy design into a design for a real-world product in just ten simple steps!

Armed with a MacBook Air and the miracle of the Internet, Paul lives and writes at a secret location somewhere on the west coast of Europe. You can be pretty sure that keeping his feet warm under the writing table is his one-eyed surf dog, Daisy.

As well as being a writer, Paul is a wanderer. He has lived in various countries - always in the high mountains, or somewhere near a good surfing beach. Wherever I am, though, and whatever else I'm doing, he says, I follow Ray Bradbury's advice: 'Write, every single day.' Paul writes about many subjects, but his books are mostly to do with sports, the world's different peoples, places, and animals, or the weird and wonderful.
