Tory Christie is a real scientist by day and secretly writes children's books at night. When it is light outside, she studies rocks and water. After dark, she writes silly science stories that kids and grownups can laugh about. Check out her latest series, Curious McCarthy, and explore science with Curious and her zany family. Tory Christie grew up in a large family, but her family was nothing like the McCarthys -- honestly. The McCarthys are completely fiction -- really. Tory Christie lives in Fargo, North Dakota with her medium-sized family. Find out more at: www.torychristie.com.
