About the Author:
Matthew McElligott is the author of many books for children, including the Mad Scientist Academy series, Even Monsters Need Haircuts, and the Benjamin Franklinstein series. Like the ocean shore, he is shallow and often quite crabby. In spite of this, a beautiful woman named Christy married him and now helps him with all his books.
