Description
This series starter takes emerging readers on an expedition to the ocean’s twilight zone in search of a giant squid. But giant squids are hard to find. Readers will need to join the expedition and help make choices along the way.
First they'll pick their submersible. And then their pilot and dive site. They'll need to be careful—not every path leads where it seems, but whatever path they pick, they’ll see and learn amazing things!
SPARKS INTEREST IN STEM: This introduction to the career of marine zoologist, and the other members of a deep-sea expedition, lets readers dip their toes into being a teuthologist—a scientist who studies cephalopods such as octopus and squid.
ENTERTAINS WHILE IT EDUCATES: Each possible path leads to a different outcome, so readers learn new facts about scientific expeditions and marine life as they explore the deep seas in search of the elusive giant squid.
COMIC BOOK APPEAL: The bright, graphic-paneled imagery will entice kids drawn to comic books, while also making the abundance of information accessible even for the most reluctant reader.
A DEEPER STEM DIVE: Teaches not just about giant squid, but about the many people needed to undertake a scientific expedition.
INCLUSIVE APPROACH: Research shows children need to "see it to be it." The images in the book showcase a broader range of inclusivity than many STEM titles.
THE FIRST IN A SERIES: Watch for the next choose-your-own-path book, all about mushrooms and mycology: the study of fungi!
Perfect for:
- Emerging readers with an interest in STEM, ocean animals, and squids!
- Excellent resource for teachers, librarians, and homeschool educators to explore science, travel, and career topics
- Fans of other pick-your-path type books, National Geographic kids' books, and the Magic Tree House and Who Would Win book series
- Birthday, holiday, or summer break gift for boys and girls who love adventure books, animal books, and stories about the kraken and other sea monsters

Thank you NetGalley for the advance copy to review.
What a great addition to any elementary classroom library. I really enjoyed the pick your path aspect of the book. This book is chock-full of science facts. The illustrations are simple and vibrant. The characters are diverse. Kids will have a fun reading this book over and over to follow all the paths.

Very unique book! I think kids will really love the choose-your-own-adventure style. I also love that the book features a character with vitiligo. It's a safe a positive place for kids to see someone with this type of skin, which many kids probably have not. Great information on a topic that's not been written about very much.
