Stefano the squid is surrounded by amazing animals: diving dolphins, colorful fish, and scary-looking anglerfish. These incredible creatures have grabbed the attention of the film crew from Deep Sea TV, but the crew never seems to care about filming Stefano. “Why don’t they like me?” he wonders. Then one day, a diver gets into trouble. Can Stefano—just an ordinary common squid—save the day?
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.
