A stunning book about wonder, bravery, and the freedom to pursue your curiosity from the author-illustrator of The Search for the Giant Arctic Jellyfish.
Ever since Dr Rose was a little girl paddling in rock pools, she has always loved the sea and exploring the weird and wonderful creatures living there. Now, as a marine biologist, Dr Rose is in search of a sea creature rumoured to reside within its hidden depths; one that many speak of, but no one has ever seen – Carmella. With her team of scientists and explorers, she will descend to the unfathomable dark of the deep ocean in a slick submersible, to discover the incredible, and almost unbelievable, creatures that inhabit a nearly pitch-black world.

The intricacies of Dr Rose, her crew, and the sea creatures they encounter are captivatingly detailed, while the slow, delicious, tension of the search for Carmella builds in the breathtaking watercolour illustrations.
