Welcome to Litsy!

This is a middle school aged book. It's really good suspense story with some fun science and animals. Marty, Grace and Luther are with their uncle/father on a science boat looking to capture a giant squid. Add pirates, an evil uncle/father, chimp, bubble submarine,and a parrot for good fun.Some guns and killing involved. I didn't realize this is 2nd in a series, book 1 is Cryptid Hunters. Next on the list. #doublespin November @TheAromaofBooks

Ok. So, I‘m reading this because my 10 yr old is reading the series and wants me to read them too (but only after she‘s finished each book). I think it‘s a good and fun series for middle schoolers, but not super awesome for adults. I would recommend it for kids tho.

I was a little apprehensive about the scope of this book. The cover is very misleading because the hunt for the squid is the backdrop, but has very little bearing on events other than putting them in the ocean. I couldn‘t put the book down though and loved the intriguing characters. I will definitely be reading the first one (oops) and the third installment.

That moment when a middle grade book speaks total and deep truth when you least expect it. When you have a passion you no longer “work.”

What you don‘t read about creatures from the deep while you are at the river? ☀️
