An undersea rescue at Aqualand

At Aqualand, a marine theme park built by Sophia’s father and uncle, a break-in at the research lab brings an unlikely crew into view: four sea creatures sharing an aquanaut suit. The discovery connects Sophia’s loss with a wider problem at the park, where captive marine life needs help. Dan Santat’s graphic novel combines a family-centered premise, comic sea-creature characters, and an animal-rescue conflict, with the theme park serving as the setting for both wonder and concern about how it has changed.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Kids ages 9–12 who enjoy graphic novels.
  • Readers interested in marine animals, theme parks, and rescue adventures.

Book overview

Dive in to this whimsically adventurous graphic novel from Caldecott Medalist and National Book Award Winner Dan Santat!

 

Ever since her father was lost at sea, Sophia has been moping around Aqualand, the marine theme park her dad and uncle created. But Sophia's world is turned upside down when an "aquanaut" breaks into the park's research lab.

 

To her amazement, Sophia discovers that the aquanaut is not what it seems -- inside lives a band of four goofy sea creatures! And when they all realize that Aqualand has evolved into something much darker than Sophia's dad had envisioned, Sophia is determined to help the aquanaut crew free the park's captive marine life before it's too late.
