A stunning book about wonder, bravery, and the freedom to pursue your curiosity from Chloe Savage, winner of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize for Illustration for The Search for the Giant Arctic Jellyfish.
Ever since Dr Rose was a little girl paddling in rock pools, she has always loved the sea and exploring the weird and wonderful creatures living there. Now, as a marine biologist, Dr Rose is in search of a sea creature rumoured to reside within its hidden depths; one that many speak of, but no one has ever seen – Carmella. With her team of scientists and explorers, she will descend to the unfathomable dark of the deep ocean in a slick submersible, to discover the incredible, and almost unbelievable, creatures that inhabit a nearly pitch-black world.

A beautifully illustrated book by the author/illustrator of the Search For The Giant Artic Jellyfish. The illustrations in contrasting colours create a playful tone and prompt thoughtfulness about the world we live... More
I love the illustrations in this book! I love the fact that the words and pictures work so well together - when the writing gets smaller as they go deeper into the quiet ocean.
A book with lots of things to point out...
