The Aquanaut by Dan Santat

The Aquanaut by Dan Santat is a graphic novel about a group of sea creatures who find an aquanaut slash scuba suit. The art is vibrant with a touch of steampunk old timiness while still feeling current to today. If you're planning a family trip to the ocean, this might be the perfect book for you and your middle graders to enjoy.
