In Simon Bloom, The Gravity Keeper, Simon Bloom and his friends used the Book of Physics to narrowly defeat villainess Sirabetta. Now Simon?s nemesis, stuck as a helpless thirteen-year-old, wants revenge. In this exciting sequel, Simon and company must enter the mysterious undersea realm of the Order of Biology to fi nd Sirabetta before she can restore her powers. Aided by old allies and some new ones, the kids struggle with fi erce beasts, dangerous enemies, and their own evolving abilities. Blending humor, suspense, and science?and throwing new octopus powers into the mix?Michael Reisman brings us another outstandingly original adventure.
Michael Reisman was born and raised in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, where he spent a lot of time day-dreaming in nearby woods. He can juggle and can use chopsticks with either hand, but he cannot control the universe (not for lack of trying). He's got a black belt in napping; he loves pizza, chocolate and NY egg rolls; and he enjoys writing about himself in the 3rd person.
His many jobs have included making smoothies, cashiering at a supermarket, washing tents, tutoring for the SATs, and spraying cologne (for one night-he got fired). He's also worked in the movie/ TV industry for Fox, Paramount, Tom Hanks, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network, and he's currently a script/ book reader for Dreamworks Animation. After all that, he's happiest sitting in cafés and thinking up strange stories.
Michael currently lives in Los Angeles and doesn't have a dog. Yet. But he has several fish who have refused to comment. He's putting the finishing touches on two new books (one sci-fi, the other urban fantasy) while his agents are seeking a publisher for the third book in his Simon Bloom series, THE ORDER OF CHAOS. You can read more about him at www.michaelreisman.com (especially when he gets around to updating the site)(should be any day now)(seriously).
