Who’s Afraid of the Light?

Fergus lives down in the deepest, darkest sea and is scared of just one thing … the light! Fresh and funny narrative nonfiction 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 nonfiction, 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 nonfiction investigation into the ocean environment;
Parents and carers looking to combine narrative and nonfiction to entertain and educate their children simultaneously;
Kids who just want funny books!
