The Search for the Giant Arctic Jellyfish

The blues and reds in this wonderful story of exploration and determination really contrast with each other and make every page pop.

We follow the trip of Dr Morley and the crew of her ship as they travel to the Arctic to search for the elusive Giant Arctic Jellyfish.

They come across a lot of different Arctic dwelling creatures, Beluga, Narwhal, Polar Bear, and Orca but nowhere can they find the elusive Giant Arctic Jellyfish.

Does it exist, is it a myth, is it extinct? The game of hide-and-seek that Chloe Savage uses throughout is charming and fun, as is the artwork on every page though the double page spread with the Northern Lights is my favourite.

A strong story about perseverance, team work, and inquisitiveness.

With the Orca though, the more you know changes that page a wee bit.
