science and adventure collide in Book 3 of middle-grade series by renowned ocean scientist

MINNEAPOLIS - May 3, 2016 - PRLog -- Mighty Media Press is excited to announce the publication of Stingray City by Ellen Prager, illustrated by Antonio Javier Caparo. Like the first two books in the Tristan Hunt and  the Sea Guardians series, Stingray City combines mystery, adventure, and fantasy to entertain and educate readers aged 8-12 about ocean science and marine life, conservation, and other STEM concepts. As with the other books in the Tristan Hunt series, Stingray City's ocean adventures are loosely based on Dr. Prager's own experiences as an ocean scientist and underwater adventurer.

Dr. Ellen Prager is a marine scientist and author, formerly the  chief scientist at the world's only undersea research station in the Florida Keys. With her ability to make science fun and understandable for people of all ages, she has built a national reputation as a spokesperson on earth and ocean science issues.

The Shark Whisperer, the first book in the dynamic Tristan Hunt series, was a finalist for the 2015 USA Best Book Awards in  Children's Fiction. It was also a finalist for the Foreword Reviews' 2014 IndieFab Awards in Juvenile Fiction. Booklist described, book two, The Shark Rider, as "Fun and compulsively readable." Stingray City delivers readers the fact-packed action and relatable characters they have come to expect from Dr. Prager, with even more daring exploits and excitement.

Stingray City's book launch is set to take place today at Inkwood Books [Tampa, FL] from 7-9PM. Tristan and his friends can be found at your local indie bookseller, Barnes and Noble, or on Amazon. Dive deeper into thrilling danger at www.teamtristan.com.
