About the Author

Beth Ferry lives by the beach in New Jersey where she has shared her home with a myriad of aquatic creatures, including a lionfish, a clownfish, a pufferfish, several seahorses and one beautiful snowflake eel. Luckily for her, the eel wasn’t evil. Not even a little. He was, in fact, quite shy and quiet, making him the perfect fish tank pet. Beth enjoys writing about pets and friendship and anything that has to do with the ocean. You can learn more at www.bethferry.com. Jared Chapman is the author and illustrator of books such as Vegetables in Underwear, T. Rex Time Machine, and Steve, Raised By Wolves. Jared lives with his wife and four kids in Northeast Texas, which is very far from the ocean, so when his kids say things like, “Dad is mean! He was probably tagged by an evil eel!”, don’t believe them. Visit him online at www.jaredchapman.com.
