About the Author

Gnick the Gnome grew up in the woods of northern Canada with his 17 brothers and sisters. At a young age he would often explore the forest with his little brother Gnorbert. One day they found themselves trapped by a small forest fire. Luckily, there was a member of the Department of Discoverers and Detectives (Do-DaD for short) nearby who helped them out. On that day, Gnick decided he wanted to join Do-Dad and help out too. When he grew up, he was recruited and went to the secret Do-DaD training school up north. There he learned about science, nature and animals before going out on his own. Since then he has worked his way up to a Dude of the level of Discoverer.

Gnick currently lives in the woods in southern Rhode Island where he enjoys gardening, especially planting wild flowers, and writing in his journal about his adventures. If you look very carefully, you may be able to find the door to his home at the base of a tree, but you can only enter with an invitation or by the use of magical trickery.
