The answer lies in the depths. When a ten-year-old Elmadore makes an odd and unusual find while exploring his favorite place—an abandoned lighthouse—he unwittingly plunges himself into an underwater adventure. He and his best friend, nine-year-old Aaliyah, are called upon to solve an age-old riddle known as The Great Secret of the Seas. It falls on these two young children to help free all the wonderful sea creatures they meet while also somehow returning safely to their many concerned friends and families back at home on land. Travel with them as they swim many leagues beneath the ocean, brave strange currents, and enjoy wondrous sites and experiences while trying to unravel the mystery that has brought them far into the depths of the ocean. 'If you think that books for children and young people are predictable, think again. The Great Secret of the Seas is a great read that held my interest to the very end. D. G. Flamand has an imagination that cannot be matched. Adults as well as children will enjoy this book.' —Elaine Littau, author of Christian Historical/Western Fiction 'Not only is The Great Secret of the Seas a fine example of positive enjoyment...It is time children see themselves as what they are, very powerful forces in this world—forces which can make the world a better and happier place.' —Vernon Corban, Artist

The curiosity, drive, and perseverance of the nineteenth-century woman scientist who pioneered the use of aquariums to study ocean life are celebrated in this gorgeous, empowering picture book. How did a nineteenth-century dressmaker revolutionize science? Jeanne Power was creative: she wanted to learn about the creatures that swim beneath the ocean waves, so she built glass tanks and changed the way we study underwater life forever. Jeanne Power was groundbreaking: she solved mysteries of sea animals and published her findings at a time when few of women’s contributions to science were acknowledged. Jeanne Power was persistent: when records of her research were lost, she set to work repeating her studies. And when men tried to take credit for her achievements, she stood firm and insisted on the recognition due to her. Jeanne Power was inspiring, and the legacy of this pioneering marine scientist lives on in every aquarium.

"An immediate classic when first published in Redbook in 1975, Swimmer in the Secret Sea went on to be included in Prize Stories 1975: The O. Henry Awards and then published separately as a paperback. We are proud to restore to print this popular and critically acclaimed novella about Laski and Diane, a sculptor and his wife, and their struggle to bring a new life into the world, set against the backdrop of a cold Maine winter. Author William Kotzwinkle, well-known for his many enduring children's books such as Trouble in Bugland and his novelization of the movie E.T. The Extraterrestrial, is equally adept at writing seriously and poetically about life in extremis. This story of a father-to-be and his painful love for his wife and stillborn son will stay with readers for a lifetime."--Publisher's website.
