The Aquanaut

"Caldecott-winner Dan Santat’s second graphic novel, 11 years in the making, is a deft exploration of grief. Sophie, whose father was lost at sea, struggles to adapt to her new life without him. Now living with her famous uncle, Sophie embarks on a journey to fix what’s broken after the loss, whether it’s her family or the marine park that was her father’s life’s work. Poignant and often funny, The Aquanaut is Santat’s triumphant return to the graphic novel genre. (For ages 8 to 12)"
