Connor and Roshni have been selected for a secret mission to the depths of the ocean, and you’re invited along too. As the adventure unfolds, marine enthusiast Connor and astronomy star Roshni use their knowledge of the world, along with their initiative, to help a pod of whales complete their migration.

With fast-paced action throughout, Connor provides intriguing information about every encounter, educating both Roshni and the reader as the story unfolds. The story allows you to share Roshni’s awe as you are mesmerised by camouflaged octopuses, singing whales and other weird and wonderful displays at the very bottom of the sea. Every obstacle faced provides a lesson to be learned about marine life, and not all are pretty. This book provides a childfriendly explanation of humanity's impact on the oceans, from plastic problems to fertiliser pollution. On every page the text is decorated with beautiful illustrations to bring the descriptions to life, and at the end there is a chance to recap on the facts within the fiction through an interactive quiz. The Secret Explorers really do help to make learning about the world a fun experience.
