The employees there tend to yell at Robert for petting the dolphins. At the dolphin petting pool. No, he doesn’t understand it either. He wasn’t even dressed like a pirate at the time!

About the Illustrator
Rio Taylor studied Illustration at the University of Hertfordshire in England. The purpose and drive behind her art is to tell stories. She loves chocolate, wolves and traveling. Rio currently lives in Loveland, Colorado. She is related to Robert by marriage on his wife’s side, so he didn’t have to pay her anything for her illustrations.
After working on book 1 and before working on book 3, Rio got married. The author would like to think that her future husband saw her artwork in his stories and fell madly in love with Rio. That’s the author’s story and he’s sticking to it!
Rio is currently living in Colorado while she and her (also very talented) husband try to figure out the United Kingdom’s absurdly unfair green-card policies.
