Suddenly, on a routine exploration, a hideous water beast explodes out of the water, and an eager photographer is ruthlessly devoured alive in front of them.

Person
Paul Zindel wrote more than 40 novels, including The Pigman, one of the best-selling young adult books of all time, and Pardon Me, You're Stepping on My Eyeball! His Broadway play, The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds, won the Pulitzer Prize and was produced as a film directed by Paul Newman.
Mr. Zindel taught high school chemistry for ten years before turning to writing full-time. His work as an author brought him to exotic destinations around the world, from Australia's Great Barrier Reef to the monkey forests of Indonesia. Drawing from those experiences, he created The Zone Unknown series-packed full of horror, humor, adventure and bravery-with reluctant readers in mind. It includes six titles: Loch, The Doom Stone, Raptor, Rats, Reef of Death, and Night of the Bat.
