In Jules Verne's epic tale, Captain Nemo and the crew of the undersea vessel, Nautilus, journey through an at times fictional, yet at times very real, undersea world, from the lost city of Atlantis to the Red Sea. This engaging story is presented as an exciting and fast-paced graphic novel which remains faithful to Verne's original text. Specially commissioned full-colour artwork brings excitement and atmosphere to this classic tale. Speech bubbles work with the main text to emphasise and enhance the retelling. A running glossary at the foot of each page helps young readers with any challenging vocabulary without disrupting their reading experience. The highly visual nature of comic book storytelling, small amounts of text and easy-to-follow sequential ordering of the picture strips are a brilliant way for young readers who're challenged or intimidated by reading to improve their literacy skills.
