In this strikingly illustrated debut with a quirky, surreal sensibility, the tale of an Arctic expedition invites readers to discover an elusive creature.

Dr. Morley absolutely loves jellyfish. Her entire life, she has been fascinated by one specific species, a legendary creature that no one has ever seen. Does the giant Arctic jellyfish even exist? After years of research, Dr. Morley and her crew don their red parkas and set off to icy northern waters in hopes of finding the mysterious creature. The Arctic Circle is filled with wonders: playful orcas, the glowing aurora borealis, and formidable ice shelves—but will Dr. Morley find what she is searching for? Or, perhaps, will it find her? Bringing the stark and breathtaking beauty of the Arctic to life, author-illustrator Chloe Savage’s whimsical and charming adventure into the unknown is sure to capture the imaginations of young explorers.

A group of scientists led by Dr. Morely travel north in search of the giant arctic jellyfish. Dr. Morely loves all things jellyfish. She's always heard talk of the giant arctic jellyfish but nobody has actually seen it. So, with a sturdy crew, she begins her exploration of the depths of the arctic waters. She and the crew traverse harsh climates to find proof of this myth's existence. But as time passes, their situation isn't looking great and there isn't any sign of this giant jellyfish. However, Dr. Morely isn't ready to give up.

THE SEARCH FOR THE GIANT ARCTIC JELLYFISH teaches children about exploring and the joys that come with following your dreams. The illustrations are absolutely stunning with the amount of detail that was put into them. One of the pictures shows the inside of the boat with its machinery and different rooms. This book captures the beauty of the ocean and its inhabitants and it's one to share with children who are fascinated but its depths like Dr. Morely. We need more adventurous people who are passionate about what they do.

Final Verdict: I would recommend this to children who love exploration, adventure, and the ocean. While encouraging children to follow their dreams, it also shows them the magic that's hidden within the dark ocean surface.
