Welcome to Litsy!

4⭐A little girl named Sophia loses her father to science exploration. There is a shipwreck, and her father is lost at sea, but his scientific breakthrough is saved and brought home by the uncle. The uncle and family are part of Aqualand that is supposed to be about science but is more about money and entertainment. Years later Aqualand is in a bit of trouble, and the powers that be will not let the scientist work on/with their amazing discovery

Finally got a copy of this and loved it. No surprise. Just passing that on…

I've been struggling with reading lately & I've put a bookmark in about 5 books that aren't doing it for me. I do complain about my 10 year old doing the same thing so now I have guilt too!! 🤫 I got this last weekend in our anniversary travels. I absolutely LOVE Dan Santat so count me in for a graphic novel in a SECOND! 💜

Ultimately a fun adventure featuring sentient sea creatures operating an antique diving suit, though I didn‘t connect as much emotionally as I‘d hoped I would.

This definitely gave me Finding Nemo vibes (a good thing) & I really enjoyed this story about a young girl trying to find her way after her father was lost at sea. One day when she‘s at the marine theme park he opened with his brother, Sophia meets someone new and adventure ensues. This is a heartfelt story about grief & family. It‘s also a story about the environment, marine life and so much more. Another fantastic story from Santat. 🐠🐙🦀⛴

I was lucky enough to get my hands on an ARC of Gallant and I absolutely loved it. Excited to revisit the finished copy. And a Dan Santat graphic novel is pretty much an automatic buy for me.
