Marcus Keetch
Coming off the back of his first two books, Benny the Duck and Bob the Pirate, Marcus Keetch was once again inspired to write. Inspiration came whilst camping in Queensland where there were some children playing with shells at a nearby caravan. At the same instance, the author noticed a small periwinkle shell sitting on the table by his caravan. While suspecting one of the children had misplaced it, he noticed a small hole in the shell. He then started to wonder how the hole would affect the sound that shells make when you hold them to your ear, and the story progressed from there.
