Bill Wallace, een voormalig basisschoolleraar, vond zijn roeping als kinderboekenauteur door zijn vierdejaarsleerlingen te boeien met meeslepende verhalen. Hun enthousiaste aanmoediging inspireerde hem om deze verhalen in gepubliceerde boeken uit te brengen. Zijn schrijven put vaak uit de avontuurlijke geest van zijn eigen jeugd, gevuld met buitenavonturen zoals paardrijden, kamperen en vissen. Wallace's werk is erop gericht om bij jonge lezers een gevoel van avontuur en nieuwsgierigheid aan te wakkeren, wat de vreugde en opwinding van de jeugd weerspiegelt.
