Chase Flynn, a third grader in Mrs. Rao’s class at South Bay Elementary School, recently became a published author. His book, “Blobby & Ant Become Friends,” is now available on Authorhouse, Amazon and Barnes & Noble, on both paperback and e-book. 

According to his father Kevin Flynn, Chase has a pretty vivid imagination and has been consistently drawing these two characters since he was 5 years old. “He always wanted to see them in a cartoon or a comic book, and he even created the characters in a video game once,” he said. “I wanted to point him in the right direction so we sat down together and wrote a children’s book. We sat down to hash out their story of how they met.”
