A story-driven adventure where kids learn real ocean science through a story they can't put down. This isn't a list of facts to memorize. It's a real story — and the science sticks because kids live it alongside Max and Atlas. Max finds a robot named Atlas in his attic. Together with Omni — a shape-shifting cube that can teleport them anywhere — they dive into the ocean and explore it from sunlit coral reefs to the pitch-black deep sea floor. Kids discover why sharks are essential to keeping the ocean in balance, why the ocean has layers like a building, and what makes deep-sea creatures glow in the dark. They'll learn how sea turtles navigate using Earth's magnetic field, and over 120 more real ocean science facts for kids, absorbed through the story. What's inside: • Coral reefs — how they grow, why they turn white, and who lives inside them • Ocean zones — from sunlit surface to the pitch-black abyss • Deep-sea creatures that glow in the dark and survive crushing pressure • Sharks, dolphins, whales, octopuses, sea turtles, and dozens more ocean animals for kids • How the ocean is changing — and what kids can do to help protect it • 60+ full-color illustrations with labeled science diagrams Trusted by teachers, school librarians, and homeschool families — a story-driven, screen-free STEM read-aloud about marine life that kids actually ask for. Even reluctant readers stay engaged. Also makes a standout birthday or holiday gift for any kid who loves animals or adventure. A chapter book perfect for ages 6–8 as a read-aloud or ages 8–10 for independent reading. Part of the Max & Atlas STEM Discoveries series.
