Book Review: The Aquanaut by Dan Santat

The Aquanaut

by Dan Santat (jPB Santat)

 

Sophia’s dad has been lost at sea for years, and her uncle is working hard to preserve his legacy at Aqualand — the marine life theme park they started. Sophie is having a hard time because her uncle is so focused on work that he’s missing all the important things in her life. Suddenly, an old diving suit shows up, seemingly walking around on its own, since whomever’s inside never speaks. Sophie discovers the secret inside the suit, but tries her best to keep it secret. Eventually, Uncle Paul finds out, too, and even more is revealed.

 

A little bit mystery solving, a little bit daring rescue, a little bit dark secrets, but more about friendship and love, this was a quick well-illustrated read.
