Fergus lives down in the deepest, darkest sea and is scared of just one thing ... the light Fresh and funny narrative non-fiction from the award-winning Anna McGregor.

From award-winning creator Anna McGregor (author of Anemone is Not the Enemy) comes this hilarious tale of the deepest of sea creatures. Seamlessly combining humor, narrative, and non-fiction, McGregor introduces young readers to the wonders of the ocean's 'midnight zone', where no sunlight at all is able to penetrate. We meet Fergus as he hides from a parade of sea-creatures that use bioluminescence to find their way in the dark. At least, we think he is hiding ... or is it something else entirely?

This book is ideal for:

Educators and librarians looking for humorous stories to use as a launching pad for further non-fiction investigation into the ocean environment; Parents and carers looking to combine narrative and non-fiction to entertain and educate their children simultaneously; Kids who just want funny books
