Thea Lu has created a stunning book, one that explores the depths of the sea, opens it up, lets us in, shares with us the magic of the underwater world. It is an escape into worlds that most of us would not be able to imagine without it. It is a tale within a tale, a tale to spark wonder, to inspire… A magical book, a special book, a book for everyone in every place. * Armadillo Magazine * This narrative non-fiction book is beautifully illustrated and designed. The greyscale illustrations shot through with torchlight and bioluminescent colour are full of atmosphere. We enter an eerie yet magical silent world, where manta rays swoop overhead and sperm whales drift vertically near the surface as they sleep. Flaps on each page lift to reveal more secrets of the sea at night. The story can be enjoyed by younger children, following the narrative text, while older children will be fascinated by the hidden information. * Juno Magazine *
