In this level 2 reader, young readers explore the amazing underwater world of coral reefs. Beautiful photos and carefully leveled text make this book perfect for reading aloud and for independent reading. As a freelancer who has written for children's magazines for 17 years, I've had the challenge of introducing young readers to a wide range of topics and the thrill of hooking their attention with writing that's both educational and entertaining. For Boys' Life and National Geographic Kids, I've covered everything from ancient Greek myths to the secrets behind Star Wars, funny money facts to amazing animal pals. Several of my stories are included in the 2010-2014 editions of the National Geographic Kids Almanac and National Geographic Kids 125 True Stories of Amazing Animals. I am the chief writer of Angry Birds Explore the World, a 96-page special issue of National Geographic Kids.
