Open Water begins at twilight, when the last of the daylight slips across the South African Convergence.
Far below the surface, a curious lanternfish named Lux leaves the darkness below while Jelly, a transparent comb jelly, drifts wherever the Current carries her. Around them, millions of ocean neighbors begin the same nightly journey. Lanternfish rise toward the surface. Squid gather beneath the glow of distant fishing boats. Whales arrive. Dolphins chatter. Sharks circle the edges. By morning, each will have returned to its own corner of the sea, ready to keep the same appointment again tomorrow night.
As Lux and Jelly move from one encounter to the next, young readers discover an ocean that is always in motion. Every meeting reveals another animal, another relationship, and another piece of the remarkable system that connects life in the open sea.
Along the way, Curiosity Pages introduce the animals, places, and ocean processes featured throughout the story, inviting readers to look a little closer and ask a few more questions.
Part story, part exploration, Open Water is an invitation for curious readers ages 8-12 to discover the remarkable world hidden beneath the open sea.
As the second book in the Open Sky Tales series, Open Water invites children to slow down, notice what is happening around them, and discover that wonder often begins with a single observation.
