Synopsis

"Flying Deep shows kids how fascinating real life mysteries and science can be. This picture book for older readers follows the deep-sea submersible Alvin on an all-day dive, two miles below the surface of the ocean. " - Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor

Climb aboard Alvin, the famous deep-sea submersible credited with helping to find the Titanic, and take a trip two miles down to the bottom of the ocean.

Experience a day in the life of an Alvin pilot and join scientists at the seafloor to collect samples and conduct research. Along the way, discover what one wears, eats, and talks about during a typical eight-hour trip in a underwater craft and find out more about the animals that live deep in our oceans. Extensive back matter explains how Alvin works, describes the author's research, and includes a glossary and further reading.

"An appealing, exhilarating, and informative vicarious journey of discovery" —Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW

"Wong’s detailed illustrations add an exciting immediacy to the descent and to the glowing wonders of the deep”—Washington Post

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

Imagine you’re the pilot of Alvin, a deep-sea submersible barely big enough for three. Today you’ll investigate the site of deadly explosions. Many years ago, underwater volcanoes erupted. Red-hot lava blasted from deep inside Earth. An ecosystem was destroyed. Remarkably, life returned again and again.
 
Your mission: Survey the site, confirm thriving life, and collect specimens. What will you discover?
