Beth Ferry has never met an invisible whale - at least she doesn't think she has. She lives near the beach in New Jersey where she has met many a crab and snail, some super smart seagulls and more barnacles than she can count. Beth and her family love nothing more than walking along the seashore, looking for interesting and wondrous things. In addition to writing books about the beach, Beth enjoys writing about friendship, nice dreams and scarecrows. You can learn more at bethferry.com.
