Bio: Ben Farrell is a pseudonym of American writer Mel Cebulash. He grew up in Union City, NJ where he developed his athletic skills in schoolyard games. Rather than pursue a career in sports, he chose to write about them. Many of his published works, both fiction and non-fiction, reflect his life-long fascination with sports and his special interest in writing for young people. - goodreads.com
