About this book

Dive beneath the waves with the second book in the Amazing Ocean series, which will introduce you to the strange and beautiful world of the jellyfish.

Did you know that there were jellyfish in the Earth's oceans hundreds of millions of years before the first dinosaurs? These strange and beautiful creatures are among the most ancient animals on our planet, and the deadliest too.

In this amazing illustrated adventure, you'll be introduced to many of the mind-blowing varieties of these mysterious beings in our oceans, from immortal jellyfish to jellyfish with superpowers and even some astronaut jellyfish (yes, really). Are you ready to enter their mysterious undersea world? Then let's dive in.

Originally published in German in 2023 by Leykam as Faszination Qualle: Geheimnisvolle Schönheiten.

Biography

Michael Stavarič was born in Brno in 1972 and works in Vienna as a freelance writer, translator and lecturer. He has received numerous scholarships and awards, including the LeseLenz Prize for Young Literature, the Adelbert Chamisso Prize, the Austrian State Prize for Children's and Young Adult Literature, the Children's Book Prize of the City of Vienna, the German Design Award, the Wartholz Literature Prize and the Hohenems Literature Prize. He would have liked to be a marine biologist and now he writes children's books, novels, plays and poetry. When he's not writing books, he spends his time making nature documentaries.

Michèle Ganser was born in Aachen in 1995 and studied communication design in Aachen and Mainz. She is particularly fascinated by space, the stars and the different planets. In her illustrations, she combines exciting topics in an unusual way and thus creates completely new worlds. In her free time, she likes to read – preferably science fiction novels.
