Revenge of the Kraken

by Megan Atwood, Neil Evans (Illustrator)

Overview

Jordan isn’t thrilled about spending a seaside summer with his grizzled grandpa, Captain Joe. He barely knows the guy—and he knows even less about the ocean. But his grandpa’s nautical charm soon hooks Jordan on a summer at sea. After all, who could resist his tall tales of mystical white dolphins and sinister sea monsters? But when Captain Joe’s stories turn out to be true, will anyone escape the Kraken’s revenge?

About the Author

Megan Atwood is a writer and professor with over 45 books published. She lives in New Jersey where she wrangles cats, dreams up ridiculous stories, and thinks of ways to make kids laugh all day.

Neil Evans is a Welsh illustrator. A lifelong comic art fan, he drifted into childrens’ illustration at art college and has since done plenty of both. He enjoyed a few years as a member of various unheard of indie rock bands (and as a maker of bizarre small press comics), before settling down to get serious about making a living from illustration. He loves depicting emotion, expression and body language, and loves inventing unusual creatures and places. When not hunched over the graphics tablet he can usually be found hunched over a guitar, or dreaming up book pitches and silly songs with his partner Susannah. They live together in North Wales.
