Inspired by\u00a0Herman Melville’s\u00a0iconic American epic, Moby Dick<\/em>, this book\u00a0delivers\u00a0the same strange and beautiful magic of\u00a0A Monster Calls<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

The premise of this book\u00a0literally turns Moby Dick<\/em> upside down. A haunting tale of power and obsession, this is the story of a whale named Bathsheba who belongs to a pod of whales who hunt and attack ships. Led by the formidable Captain Alexandra, the pod\u00a0comes to find itself in pursuit of a legend … a monster of mythic proportions who may just be the devil himself!<\/p>\n

Moby Dick<\/em><\/a> begins with one of literature’s most famous opening lines – “Call me Ishmael.” And the Ocean was our Sky<\/em><\/a> begins similarly with the line … “Call me Bathsheba.”<\/p>\n

Moby Dick<\/em> is widely regarded as one of the world’s greatest novels, though it was out of print at the time of Herman Melville’s death. 2019 marks the 200th anniversary of Herman Melville’s birth and this wonderfully\u00a0creative new retelling of his famous novel will bring the familiar story to a whole new generation of readers.<\/p>\n

With absolutely stunning illustrations by Melbourne based artist, Rovina Cai, this book\u00a0is jaw-droppingly gorgeous!<\/p>\n
