Wendy Meddour (Author) Wendy Meddour was brought up in the seaside town of Aberystwyth. She loved the sea, but she loved books even more, so she left the seaside to study. After getting her doctorate, Wendy went to teach English Literature at Oxford University. But now she's got the best of both worlds. She lectures, writes and reads her books at a university near the seaside in Devon.Duncan Beedie (Illustrator) Duncan is a bestselling children's author and illustrator from Bristol. He has worked on a number of Little Tiger titles, including the Agent Llama series by Angela Woolfe, The Bush Baby Adventure series by Karl Newson and his own story, Heavy Metal Badger, which has been nominated for several children's literature awards. When not drawing badgers, bears and bush babies, Duncan likes to get out in the woods or sit in a comfy chair to read ghost stories.

Meddour's sweet and funny story about an anxious cephalopod and his sea cucumber friend will entertain youngsters as they dive into this action-packed, aquatic adventure that works both as an exciting story and a clever way to inspire self-belief.
