About the Author

Daryl Cobb lives in New Jersey with his family, not far from his childhood hometown. Daryl’s writing began in college as a Theatre Arts major at Virginia Commonwealth University. He found a freshman writing class inspiring and, combined with his love for music and the guitar, he discovered a passion for songwriting. This talent would motivate him for years to come and the rhythm he created with his music also found its way into the bedtime stories he later created for his children. Through the years his son and daughter have inspired much of his work, including “Boy on the Hill”, “Daniel Dinosaur” and “Daddy Did I Ever Say? I Love You, Love You, Every Day”. <br /> When Daryl isn’t writing or plucking on his guitar he is visiting schools promoting literacy with his interactive educational assemblies. Daryl is one of New Jersey’s premier educational performers whose use of performance arts to teach and entertain has educators and assembly coordinators everywhere consistently calling his school programs “the best of the best.” These performance programs teach children about the writing and creative processes and allow Daryl to do what he feels is most important -- inspire children to read and write.

Editorial Reviews

“Cobb’s 14th book comes complete with pirates, mysterious messages and a magic ring. . . . The characters are rich and beautifully rendered, and the story is sprinkled with humor. . . . Much of the dialogue − especially between Peter and Monk and Antonio and Marcus − is delightfully silly. . . . [A] spirited swashbuckling tale of mystery and magic.” -- Kirkus Reviews
