Dive in to this whimsically adventurous graphic novel from Caldecott Medalist Dan Santat!

Ever since her father was lost at sea, Sophia has been moping around Aqualand, the marine theme park her dad and uncle created. But Sophia's world is turned upside down when an "aquanaut" breaks into the park's research lab.

To her amazement, Sophia discovers that the aquanaut is not what it seems -- inside lives a band of four goofy sea creatures! And when they all realize that Aqualand has evolved into something much darker than Sophia's dad had envisioned, Sophia is determined to help the aquanaut crew free the park's captive marine life before it's too late.

That signed art print was a nice bonus, but the real reason I'm happy is the artwork itself. Dan Santat's panels of the marine park and the ocean scenes are gorgeous, and the way they carry the mood of Sophia's loss feels really cinematic.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from a paperback, but the art inside is gorgeous and the signed print it came with was a really nice touch. Sophia’s story at Aqualand pulled me in right away, and I finished it in one sitting.

Claire ★★★★☆ Aug 22, 2026

The art in this graphic novel is stunning, especially the way it captures both the whimsy and the melancholy of Sophia's story at the theme park. I do wish the ending had a bit more closure, but the emotional journey and the free print made it a worthwhile buy.
