 | “Few humans have seen this blooming oasis. The vigor and variety of life is breathtaking.” Wow! I wasn't expecting this book about the Alvin deep-sea submersible to be such a lyrical read. Fascinating and well-researched scientific content is presented within the framework of a journey to the ocean floor and back. The book does a great job of making the reader feel present and active—this is not just a read, but an experience, with sensory details that engage, involve, and surprise. |
Short, clear, lyrical sentences with easily digestible information are just right for young readers. The lyrical and figurative language in Flying Deep made this story feel like a literal, visceral journey. I love it as a read-aloud!
