Meet Spike, the Seafloor Detective!
Spike isn’t your ordinary fish. He’s a sea robin with wing-shaped fins, a row of spines along his back, and six very unusual fin rays that work like little legs. Even more amazing? Those “feet” can help him sense and taste what’s hiding along the seafloor!
In Spike: Seafloor Detective and the Case of the Runaway Pearl, Spike puts those extraordinary abilities to work when his friend Marina the oyster discovers that her pearl is missing.
The mystery leads Spike across the seafloor, where he meets a colorful cast of underwater friends and suspects. There’s Calli-Mari, the clever octopus who can squeeze through the tightest spaces; Gillbert the Porgy, an eager witness with some impressive crushing teeth; and the bickering crab siblings, Shelldon and Clawdia, who may know more about the mystery than they first let on.
With every clue, Spike shows young readers that being different can be a very special kind of superpower.
Part mystery, part ocean adventure, and part science lesson, Spike: Seafloor Detective and the Case of the Runaway Pearl introduces children to real sea-creature facts through a playful rhyming story filled with humor, discovery, and plenty of opportunities to color along the way.
So spread your fins, put your detective skills to work, and join Spike beneath the waves.
There’s a mystery waiting on the seafloor!
