Charlotte Haptie is the author of OTTO AND THE FLYING TWINS and OTTO AND THE BIRD CHARMERS. Her work is humorous and unpredictable, with a panoramic, visual style and a serious undercurrent.

OTTO AND THE FLYING TWINS has been sold in 16 different countries. The Sunday Times described OTTO AND THE FLYING TWINS as 'a sophisticated, elliptical fantasy that does not read like anything you have ever come across...' Otto's adventures continued on their customary grand scale with the publication of the third book in the series, OTTO IN THE TIME OF THE WARRIOR.

Charlotte has also written the fantastical THE ICE ANGEL (shortlisted for the West Sussex Children's Story Book Award), and the mischievous GRANNY GRABBERS series (shortlisted for various prizes, including the Leeds Book Award).
